Regretting You

Product Information

It was more painful than waiting for GOT’s last season for whole 2 and 5 years (we all know how it resulted! I threw away my TV from window and cancel my HBO membership!), listening Matthew McConaughey’s Oscar speech, eating brussels sprouts for dinner ( because there is nothing in your fridge and you need to fill your stomach to consume more booze!), listening my besties’ and husband’s burping contest (yes, I have to find better friends and educate my husband with raw meat)! So yes, I celebrate the release date with too much champagne and next day, I started my reading with a heavy head (I thought some construction company rented my brain cells and start to build a skyscraper inside my brain!)

I went into this book completely blindly, which I love to do with Colleen Hoover books because her stories are so surprising and she’s able to write so many plot twists into a contemporary story, it’s fascinating. So I recommend jumping into this book without knowing much, all you need to know is that it mainly centers on a mother/daughter relationship and that it will make you cry. I’m not gonna talk much about the story but I want to tell how this book made me feel: It made me cried several times, it made me pissed off, it made me excited, it made me sigh million times, it made me smile, it made me laugh, it made me scream and finally IT MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH 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. Today, it is easier than ever to truly communicate with an author and to get response to comment, praise and even criticisms. This is what fuels self-published independent authors. Instant response from their readership, that can guide their projects, and even their plots, to meet the demands of their readers. Five books in sequence have all led Colleen Hoover to best-selling status in the New York Times.

I really loved the romances in this book, but my favorite part was the mother/daughter relationship. Morgan and Clara go through so much, but they go through it together. Morgan is a mom who will do anything to protect her daughter. She’s selfless, unwavering, and so strong. I loved her so much. And I also loved watching Clara grow change. Sometimes life throws a lot at you, and all you can do is get through it. And get through it she does. Overall, this is not my favorite Colleen Hoover book, but I think it’s still worth a read! Family relationships come front and center for this novel, so don’t expect a huge romantic plotline. But the way that Morgan and Clara deal with tragedy is definitely the highlight of this novel! 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. Colleen Hoover books attract a wide range of readers because her books don’t just fit into one genre. Though the majority of Colleen Hoover books fit the romance genre, they span adult romance, new adult romance, and young adult romance.

Regretting You just made it’s way into my top 3 Colleen Hoover books. I loved it so much. It was a beautiful story with many different themes. It was a mix of young adult and contemporary romance. It’s one of those books that you can’t put into one box. Sometimes I think that maybe I was being under her desk while she was writing this. If not, maybe I read too many books. LOL) The third installment in Colleen Hoover’s immensely popular series has the story told from the point of view of Will, Layken’s love in the original two books. This is a genuine story of young newlyweds, and the years of discovery still going on between these two beloved characters. Era ese tipo de amor que siempre estuvo latente pero hasta que era el momento correcto para ellos se dio. I know that sounds mismatched and kind of vague but it needs to be. As a matter of fact, PLEASE don’t read the blurb to this book. I didn’t, and I’m so glad I didn’t. I feel like it gives so much away that is much more impactful if you don’t know what direction the story will take.I hate all the characters. I hate the plot behind. I hate the message the author is trying to convey through this book. The mother daughter relationship that y’all praised this book for (and maybe I don’t have a place to judge because what do I know about being a parent??) grated on my nerves. I didn’t like the way they treated each other. It was really hard to root for either of them when you, being the reader, knew what was going on. The misunderstanding was frustrating to no end. Morgan Grant and her sixteen-year-old daughter, Clara, would like nothing more than to be nothing alike. Think it’s time I figure out who I was meant to become before I started living my life for everyone else.” At the end of first quarter COLHO terribly punched us! (Some kind of same twist we got from the beginning of “All your perfects” but this one cut deeper to me, to entire characters of the book and my entire neighborhood because I read this book aloud to educate my environment and guess what my mother and sister in law already start wearing matching t-shirts that words printed on: -We love you COLHO- and of course they stole her books from my library but I forgave them because I changed the covers with Lord of the Rings series just teaching them some manners!)

Colleen’s writing was really good and captivating. I loved the way she wrote this book and how everything was handled with care, respect, and not rushed. This book could’ve easily gone wrong, but it didn’t and for that I’m glad. I loved Jonah a lot! I loved the couples’ relationships. They were so heartwarming. I even loved the mother/daughter journey. I have to admit that I was really frustrated tho. The miscommunication was killing me slowly, like just please talk?! This book was heavy but heartwarming at the same time. Untangling stories of the past is a recurring theme in Hoover’s writing and she doesn’t disappoint here. By the end of the trilogy, it is apparent that the future rests on how well Layken and Will manage to deal with their pasts, together. Other Books Jonah was a little doormat hero but he was still adorable, trustworthy, humble guy. I adored how he raised Elijah and how he treated with respect and caring to Morgan. JONAH: Él también me gustó mucho y sufría demasiado viendo a la mujer que amaba con su mejor amigo. STEP 4: Add some 0 dimensional side characters who are only there to make the mcs realise their mistakes.Before she self-published her first novel, Slammed, in 2012, Hoover was a social worker living in a mobile home who took up writing because she was bored and always loved to write. Tengo un hate-love con Colleen Hoover pero SIEMPRE termino leyendo sus libros y este ya vieron que no fue la excepción. CLARA Ella es mi menos favorito en muchas partes me fastidiaba y cometió muchas burradas a causa de la ira. Oh, and I don’t like her decision to do that action after finding out something that night, either. (if you know what I mean) That was the stupidest decision EVERRRR. If you to revenge someone, find some ways more creative! Book club questions for Regretting You by Colleen Hoover explore the meaning behind family, first love, grief, loyalty and betrayal.
