Regretting You Paperback – December 10, 2019
Purchase options and add-ons
Soon to be a major motion picture starring 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.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2023Colleen Hoover has once again proven her mastery of storytelling with "Regretting You," a novel that effortlessly weaves together the complexities of family dynamics, love, and the power of forgiveness. With her signature blend of emotional depth and captivating prose, Hoover delivers a gripping narrative that will leave readers spellbound.
The story revolves around the lives of Morgan and Clara, a mother and daughter duo whose lives are turned upside down by a devastating event. As they navigate the aftermath, the story alternates between their perspectives, allowing us to witness their individual journeys of healing and self-discovery.
Hoover's ability to create multi-dimensional and relatable characters shines through in "Regretting You." Morgan is a loving and compassionate mother, while Clara is a teenager trying to find her voice amidst the chaos. Their mother-daughter relationship is beautifully portrayed, filled with both love and conflict, making it incredibly realistic and relatable.
One of the novel's greatest strengths lies in Hoover's exploration of grief and loss. She delves deep into the emotional turmoil experienced by her characters, capturing the rawness and the rollercoaster of emotions that come with loss. The pain and heartache are palpable, yet Hoover infuses moments of hope and redemption that will tug at your heartstrings.
The writing in "Regretting You" is exquisite, showcasing Hoover's ability to effortlessly draw readers into her world. Her prose is evocative, painting vivid images and emotions that make it impossible to put the book down. The dialogue is authentic, reflecting the intricacies of human relationships and adding depth to the characters' interactions.
The plot unfolds at a perfect pace, keeping readers engaged and invested throughout. Hoover expertly balances the present-day narrative with glimpses into the past, unraveling secrets and building suspense. The twists and turns in the story are unpredictable yet entirely believable, leaving you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
"Regretting You" is more than just a love story; it's a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of forgiveness. Hoover explores themes of self-discovery, redemption, and the complexities of familial bonds with incredible sensitivity and insight. The emotional resonance of this novel is unparalleled, and it will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on readers.
In conclusion, "Regretting You" is a masterpiece that showcases Colleen Hoover's exceptional storytelling skills. It's a book that will captivate your heart and mind, making you reflect on the preciousness of family, the significance of forgiveness, and the resilience of the human spirit. If you're searching for a deeply moving and thought-provoking read, look no further than "Regretting You."
- Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2019When 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

5.0 out of 5 stars Adorei!
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.
