Soon to be a major motion picture starring Mckenna Grace, Mason Thames, Allison Williams, and Dave Franco.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Ends with Us comes a novel about family, first love, grief, and betrayal that will touch the hearts of both mothers and daughters.
Morgan Grant and her sixteen-year-old daughter, Clara, would like nothing more than to be nothing alike.
Morgan is determined to prevent her daughter from making the same mistakes she did. By getting pregnant and married way too young, Morgan put her own dreams on hold. Clara doesn’t want to follow in her mother’s footsteps. Her predictable mother doesn’t have a spontaneous bone in her body.
With warring personalities and conflicting goals, Morgan and Clara find it increasingly difficult to coexist. The only person who can bring peace to the household is Chris―Morgan’s husband, Clara’s father, and the family anchor. But that peace is shattered when Chris is involved in a tragic and questionable accident. The heartbreaking and long-lasting consequences will reach far beyond just Morgan and Clara.
While struggling to rebuild everything that crashed around them, Morgan finds comfort in the last person she expects to, and Clara turns to the one boy she’s been forbidden to see. With each passing day, new secrets, resentment, and misunderstandings make mother and daughter fall further apart. So far apart, it might be impossible for them to ever fall back together.

No regrets
When my favorite authors have new books that come out, I try my best to go in as blind as I can. No reading the blurb. Skipping over reviews online and teasers in book groups. It’s hard, but I want to experience the book without ANY preconceived notions and be surprised on my own. Regretting You was a beautiful surprise from an author that can write absolutely anything (but what is up with her use of letters in so many books?? lol).Regretting You is told in dual POV from a mother (Morgan) and daughter (Clara). They’ve experienced something that was life altering and the experience changed them and their whole life forever.”Right after something tragic happens, you feel like you’ve fallen off a cliff. But after the tragedy starts to sink in, you realize you didn’t fall off a cliff. You’re on an eternal roller coaster that just reached the bottom. Now it’s gonna be up and down and upside down for a long , long time. Maybe even forever.”And that’s what this story was for me. It unfolded and we got to see how 2 characters handled the situation. Neither one was perfect. A mother trying to shield her daughter and protect her, while at the same time trying to forge and fix the relationship between them that had floundered in recent years. Morgan gave up absolutely everything for Clara and, being a teen, she never saw it. Morgan was selfless and that was her biggest flaw. She did for others at the detriment to herself.And then there’s Clara. She is a teenager and that’s almost the only thing we need to say to understand her actions. She is trying to navigate a new life and holds so much hatred toward her mother that just wants a relationship with her. But she also has a boy around her that intrigues her (Miller, FTW). Her actions are all over the place. These three characters and their roller coaster of emotions had me feeling for them all throughout the book.I hate a review that gives me a synopsis of a book. So I will leave you with this…Regretting You gives you two female characters that are trying to figure out their places in life and their places with each other. It’s not easy to read everything and you will want to smack Clara a few times. But like I said, she’s a teenager that’s been dealt a blow. And even Morgan is frustrating. Especially in the flashbacks where maybe she got it wrong.Miller is utter perfection. Seriously. His actions and the way he handled all his situations was very commendable. Just remember that they are teens, and not everything is perfect.And then there is Gramps. I love an old character that comes in funny or with some major sage advice. He was really a favorite of mine.Then we have Jonah, Chris and Jenny. They are all major players in this story, but this is Morgan and Clara’s journey and that’s where the focus lies. Don’t expect answers from them. ;)Regretting You was a journey for two characters and while I wanted information from other characters, it wasn’t their story. The way the characters interacted, the story flowed from past to present and from character to character was done so well. The plot moved at a pace that worked for the story being told. Of course I wanted more answers, but I was understanding of this mother/ daughter relationship that included their own personal relationships and how they navigated them. Colleen Hoover wrote a book that a mother could share with their high school daughter and hopefully bring them closer. While it’s not my favorite CoHo book, it is still a book that I will love to share with others. It’s beautiful and well told. The message about relationships and attraction really hit home.”Attraction isn’t something that only happens once, with one person. It’s part of what drives humans. Our attraction to each other, to art, to food, to entertainment. Attraction is fun. So when you decide to commit to someone, you aren’t saying, ‘I promise I’ll never be attracted to anyone else.’ You’re saying, ‘I promise to commit to you, despite my potential future attraction to other people.’…Relationships are hard for that very reason.”Colleen has a way with words and is gifting us with another book that details the flaws in humans and how we can react to them and process them. Be prepared to feel and learn all at once. Loving and hating the characters in this story will be a journey in itself. 4.5 stars

All the feels!
Definitely one of my favorite romance books. You’ll cry, be angry, laugh, and swoon. The way each character grapples with their take on the losses of their family and friends and the deceit tied into that is very intricate and raw and messy in the most human way. Well done!

Loved it!
I have to confess—I only started reading Colleen Hoover books after watching It Ends with Us on a flight this past holiday season. Honestly, my interest was initially piqued because I was annoyed by all the drama surrounding the casting and behind-the-scenes chaos. But I ended up really enjoying the movie. And since the book is always better, I picked it up—and then quickly tore through the rest of the series.Long story short, I decided to read all of Colleen Hoover’s books. Regretting You was #20 on my list, and surprisingly, it’s been my favorite so far. I loved this book so much—I can’t stop thinking about the characters, the relationships, and all the “what ifs.” It’s the kind of story that lingers with you long after you finish.Highly recommend this one for a quick and emotional summer read. You won’t regret it!

Wow! I went through a whirlwind of emotions reading this book. The complexity in the characters and with each other was class writing! Loved it! Great storyline and I’m sure that readers will find a direct link somewhere in their own lives to that of one of the characters creating a true connection to the book. Another great book by Hoover!

A escrita da Colleen é uma coisa extraordinária, é fluída e super rápida de ser lido, não dá vontade de parar, mesmo eu em uma época muito difícil de ler, ela consegue me roubar o sono para continuar na história. Essa é uma história muito simples onde vai envolver uma mãe e uma filha. A mãe é maravilhosa e a filha é adolescente então meio irritante, mas isso é ser adolescente. O mistério não é tão impactante mas a escolha desse impacto não é o caminho mais fácil e eu gostei da forma que a Collen escolheu, ela poderia ir para um meio termo que seria bastante interessante ver mais conflitos, mas a forma que ela escolheu, deixa várias dúvidas que os personagens vão desvendando conforme a leitura. Achei que o final poderia se estender mais, ter mais sobre o futuro mas entendo que ela deixou mais realista e menos preguiçoso para o leitor. Acho que estou gostando dos livros mais adultos da autora e esse com certeza virou um dos favoritos.
