Regretting You
by Colleen Hoover
Morgan and her daughter, Clara do not always see eye to eye. Morgan and Chris were only teenagers when they had Clara, and she does not want her daughter to follow in her footsteps. Clara, a teenager in high school just wants to be an actress and dislikes all of the rules her parents have in place. When an unexpected event occurs, things between Morgan and Clara become more strained as trusts are broken between them.
Regretting You by Colleen Hoover tells the story of how once a trust is broken can it ever be fixed. The story is told from two point of views, Morgan and Clara. It starts when Morgan is 17 and finds out she is pregnant. This chapter was the only one set in the past, but definitely was necessary to set the story. The remainder of the book is told when Morgan is 34 and Clara is 16/17. We get to learn about their family dynamic as the chapters alternate between the two narrators.
I do not read a lot of romance novels, but really enjoyed this one. I liked how it was told from the two perspectives. It was nice seeing how in the same situation, Morgan felt one way and Clara felt another. It definitely seemed like a typical mother daughter relationship however when the unexpected event occurs things totally change between them. Clara becomes very distrusting of her mother without giving her a chance to prove her wrong. There was a point where I found this behavior of Clara’s a bit much (chapter 24) which is part of the reason I only gave this book 4 stars.
There are two other characters who really made the book for me. Clara’s love interest, Miller, and family friend Jonah. I don’t want to give too much away so I’m just going to say that Jonah was my favorite character throughout the book. He was so patient and understanding with everyone.
The other reason I did not give this book 5 stars is that there is a part of the book where letters are found, but the fact that they were never read really upset me. Once they were found, all I wanted was for them to be read so I did find it disappointing they weren’t. Overall, this book was very good though, and I would highly recommend it to fans of Colleen Hoover and the romance genre.
