Wow. What a powerful book! I have loved the three books of Colleen Hoover's that I've read already. And this one absolutely does not disappoint. 

Please read this book blind! I really didn't know what to expect and thankfully didn't come across any spoilers before I read it and am so glad I didn't. There is a HUGE twist that happens in the first quarter of the book that seriously blew my mind. It wouldn't have had the same impact if I had known it was coming! Without giving too much away, Regretting You is a story of an ever changing relationship between a mother and daughter, acceptance, and forgiveness.

Told from the point of view from both Mother & Daughter, this story was emotional and heartfelt. We follow three different relationships and are treated to an angsty second chance romance, a new adult high school romance AND a roller-coaster journey between 2 women who are learning to live with a new normal - all rolled into one spectacular read.

Absolutely loved it 💜

I was beyond excited to get this ARC! I love Colleen's work and I have read a few of her novels. This one is being talked about quite a lot on instagram, so I was beyond the moon to get approved. I read it and I loved it. I wish I could have given the book 5 stars and only reason I didn't was because I loved it enough. I know... some may judge me for saying that but, my opinion about the books is this. I felt like a lot of the things happening happened to fast.there were parts that felt rushed to me and sort of incomplete. I did love what the story represented. Morgan being a mother who in order to shelter her daughter from the truth makes herself seem like the bad guy, although I was pissed at her for not wanting to tell her daughter the truth, I can see her point of view as a mother, not wanting to break her kid's heart. There were occasions with Clara too where I wanted to shake her! but at the same time she is a raging teenager who just lost her father and aunt at the same time, she never rebelled before, so Rebelling at a time where you are grieving although it is not okay, it is understandable.

Thank you to Netgalley and Montlake Romance for providing me with an Advance Reader Copy of Regretting You by Colleen Hoover. This novel drew me in from the very first chapter and I found myself unable to put it down until I had finished it. Firstly, I loved each character, and the depth to which they were portrayed. I really enjoyed how their perspectives and histories naturally unfolded for the reader, leaving me with a deep understanding of each character without feeling like I had just been unceremoniously dumped with information. Another aspect of this that really struck a chord with me was how realistic the narrative felt. As a mother and a daughter, I could understand why both the main characters were reacting to their situations the way they did - regardless of whether they were right or wrong. Their responses and choices felt natural and completely relatable, and had me truly invested in their stories.

While there wasn’t much about this book that I didn’t love, there were a couple plot points that seemed a bit predictable. Though the narrative was still engaging at these points, I didn’t love that I had accurately predicted them.

Overall however, I think this is a wonderful story of love, grief and perseverance, and I would recommend it to anyone. Colleen Hoover’s writing style is easy to fall into and become lost in, and I absolutely loved getting wrapped up in this story.

I absolutely loved this book! Went in blind and oh boy!!! I was shocked with the turn of events in the first few chapters! I couldn't put the book down!! Superb story line, still thinking about the book a week after I finished reading it! It left me wanting more of these characters! Colleen Hoover at her best!

Colleen Hoover has done it again. Regretting you was another unputdownable book, I read it within 24 hours and was so glad I had book friends to discuss it with once I was done. The storylines of showing both the mom and daughter's point of views was fantastic. Both had inner struggles and new romances to keep each story line just as good as the other. Every woman can relate to Morgan and Clara's relationship. A teen who think their mom is the root of all things bad and a mother that just wants to protect her daughter. This book gave all the feels.


I am only giving it a 4 because the stay-with-you factor just isn't there. It is a book I would recommend and loved reading it, but I may forget about it a year from now. And this may be because I am just comparing it to It Ends With Us and Verity, so I have extremely high expectations when it comes to CoHo.

Thank you Montlake Romance for providing me an ARC via NG

This book was so addictive I just couldn’t put it down. I feel like every book I read by Colleen-Hoover just gets better and better. Regretting You gave me all the feels it was an amazing read from beginning to end!

This book was about a relationship between a mother and her teenage daughter. I think every girl can relate to Clara as she is trying to find her way through her angsty teenage years. Every mother can relate to Morgan as she finds herself lost in life having lived every moment of her life for her daughter. The characters in this book were absolutely amazing, but my favorite by far was Gramps. I loved his witty, dry sense of humor. You can’t help but love him. This book was so well written. Colleen definitely did it again!

Regretting You by Colleen Hoover was such a wonderful read. I read this in a buddy group and all ~20 members LOVED this. It's heartbreaking. a story of courage and resiliency, and love, and loss. I was so moved by Morgan's story and what she went through as well as Clara's story of coping, understanding, grieving, and being loved for the first time. Miller and Jonah were such respectable men and such a guide to others. I was so upset for both Morgan and Clara and what they discovered and had to grieve. Fantastic read!

A great but heavy story of family, betrayal and second chance. I was once again surprised by the plot twist. Clara is a teenager and has teenager's immature and selfish reactions, but it is normal, I had to admit it. I felt close to her mother, Morgan, which has the same age as me and has adult issues.

Wow! Great book! I read this with a group of friends and we all loved it. There was one thing missing, we thought, to make it absolutely perfect, but the story was full and gave me everything important- oohs, awws, laughs, tears, anger, resolution! Typical Colleen Hoover! Her grocery lists probably make me cry too!! Great main characters and wonderful supporting characters- very real!

4.5 stars rounded up! Typically I can write a review immediately after reading a book but this one I had to sit on for a few days because it just emotionally wrecked me. After discussing it with some of my amazing bookish ladies club members I feel more capable of writing this review.

Colleen Hoover does it again this woman has a way of affecting me down to my core and her books always leave me screaming for more! Her characters always connect with me and the stories grasp me from the first page.

Regretting You is a powerful and emotional story about the challenges a teenage daughter and her mother must face after a devastating tragedy. This book made me angry,swoon, cry and scream it affected me for days after finishing it and I’m not sure when this book hangover is going to end.

So if I loved it so much why isn’t it a 5 star for me I’m not going to spoil anything but all I’m going to say is The Letters. If you’ve read this book you know what I’m talking about! Colleen Hoover if you’re reading this I need to know WHY?!?!

Simply put Colleen Hoover does it again. This book about grief, love, friendship and family took me on such an emotional roller coaster. I loved the characters - CoHo has such a way of making her characters come to life. It feels as if you know them. I definitely felt that here.

There is a dual romance that worked really well within the story. You will find yourself invested in both these relationships and rooting for the characters to have a true shot at some well deserved happiness. The mother-daughter relationship represented really resonated with me and touched my heart.

Doesn't Hoover have a gift for thinking up the BEST leading men?! She knows how to make you fall for these fictional characters as if they were real. Both Jonah and Miles stole my heart. They now have a special space for themselves amongst my most beloved "book boyfriends". Trust me - you'll fall for them too. Just remember I claimed Jonah first! 🥰

I don't want to give away any spoilers BUT there was one piece of the story that was left unanswered and this girl wanted in on the first hand knowledge - badly! I closed my kindle with a thud of aggression at NOT having the satisfaction I wanted. Why CoHO, Why? Your characters might have been fine with it but this reader wanted, no I needed, that closure! 😉 Still, I can't really hold it against you. You know just how to get to me and I'm here for whatever you decide to write next girl!

I was so excited to get an ARC of Colleen Hoover’s latest novel, Regretting You. Her writing style always grips you from the beginning and you get so engrossed with the story whether you love it or hate. Her books usually go either extreme of the spectrum for me which I love because it keeps me on my toes.

Regretting You is honestly one of my top 3 favorite books from her! The characters were well developed and I loved the alternating mother/daughter POV. This reads sort of like a YA and kind of not. I love that Colleen’s writing grips the reader from the beginning and the reader is so engrossed with the storyline. Overall if you love romance or if you’re already a fan of CoHo, you’ll definitely want to add this one onto your TBR.

This book is the reason I don't let myself read at night anymore. I started reading around 7pm on Tuesday night and I stayed up until I finished it at 3am. I couldn't put the book down and I don't regret it! :)

Regretting You is one of the best books I've read all year—it had everything, sisters, secrets, love, loss and a little romance. I can't wait for this book to be out in the world so everyone can read it and we can talk about it!

Regretting You by Colleen Hoover is a complicated, yet beautiful story of a family trying to navigate through personal tragedy in their own way. It describes what you would think is your typical family...mom, dad, aunt, daughter, and throw in a long lost love and of course an unexpected tragedy that leaves more questions, and problems, than answers. When mom, Morgan , receives a devastating phone call, her daughter Clara is left trying to figure out life as a teenager. The relationship of Morgan and Clara is already complicated, but they can’t figure out how to communicate, and hold back truths in order to protect each other, when in the end, the truth always comes out. The story is told between alternating points of view between Morgan and Clara, and it is so well done.

This book is raw, it will tug at your emotions. You will feel the depths of each character. It was romantic, frustrating, beautiful, tragic, sad...and CoHo does it all so well! The characters are relatable, they have difficult relationships, and even more decisions that need to be addressed. And you will hang on each word until the end.

I am a huge Colleen Hoover fan, I feel I need to disclose that. Her books are all so different, yet each one is perfect, I honestly don’t know how she does it, but she pulls it off. Regretting You is no different. I admit, I had to fully digest this book for a few days before I could write my review...it really stayed with me. You will love it from the first chapter to the last. Her chapters flow so well, her characters are so well defined, it’s amazing.

I would like to thank Netgalley, Montlake Romance, and the Queen herself, Colleen Hoover for an advanced reader copy of Regretting You in exchange for an honest review. Read it...you won’t regret it!

This was my first CoHo book and now I don’t understand why I haven’t read any of her other books yet. I’m shook. I don’t even know how to put into words what this book made me feel. There were so many twists and turns, ups and downs. Somehow CoHo can make you feel life’s best and worst emotions in one book. I’ve lost both of my parents and I felt some of that devastation come through in this book. When I first started reading it I thought, “Oh this one will probably only get 3 and half stars from me like most romances do.” CoHo had other ideas. This book not only gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ but is going down as one of my favorite books of all time. The only bad thing I can say about this one is that I’m pissed about the book hangover I’m going to have. This book releases on December 10,2019 and if you don’t buy it, you’re really missing out! Preordering my copy now🙌🏻

I didn’t know what to expect from this as a Colleen lover, especially after Verity! Regretting You is the PERFECT light read that you just can’t put down. I loved every bit of Jonah, Morgan & Clara‘s emotional journey.

Thank you SO much to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this one early :)!

Colleen Hoover strikes again.

Regretting You chronicles the aftermath of a tragedy in a family that was just living a normal existence. High school sweethearts Morgan and Chris married young when she became pregnant with their daughter, Clara. Sixteen years later, the couple navigates life with a teenager while managing the lives of Morgan's sister and her new husband and baby. When tragedy strikes their family suddenly, Clara and Morgan are faced with learning how to deal with loss, love, and what it looks like to move on gracefully.

There is so much to say about this novel. It includes all of the touching aspects of Hoover's other works (All Your Perfects, It Ends With Us) while including slight humor amid the heavy storylines. Hoover masterfully creates a world that is interrupted by unexpected events. One of the strong suits of Hoover's storytelling is her realistic portrayal of any circumstance. The characters were deep and raw. This book read like a wonderful movie that even your boyfriend/husband could appreciate. There were two storylines that followed the mother, Morgan and the daughter, Clara. Hoover wove both of their romances and trials together well and brought their stories together with rich details. As the mother of a daughter, I was touched and saddened as I read about the cracks in Morgan's and Clara's relationship. The scenes in this book ripped my heart out then put it all back together in the end. This novel provides romance, drama, and hope all in one.

This novel earned 4.5 stars (rounded to 5).

Thank you Netgalley for a copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

Regretting You hits shelves on December 10, 2019.

“I think that’s the problem. Teenagers think their parents should have it all figured out, but the truth is, adults don’t really know how to navigate life any better than teenagers do.”

Colleen Hoover, you’ve done it again with another beautiful and heart wrenching novel! Regretting You is an exploration of mother-daughter relationships, first loves, tragedy and betrayal, unrequited love, and the choices that shape a person’s life. Additionally, the theme of regret is woven into the storyline as the characters reflect on their past and current decisions, and how those decisions affect the people they love. It’s almost impossible for me to remain spoiler-free in summarizing this book, but what I will say is that CoHo fans will love this one just as much as her others!

The title might be Regretting You, but I definitely didn’t regret reading this wonderful book. Just in time for the holiday season, this one is hitting shelves December 10th...add it to your wish list!

Thank you so much to NetGalley, Montlake Romace, and Colleen Hoover for this digital ARC in exchange for my honest review!
