pickI adored this story. The tragedy, betrayal, lies- yet all the love and healing and compassion. What a roller coaster ride. Clara was by far my favorite character- followed closely by Miller and Morgan. Jonah I felt was a filler and had no real depth. I ate this up in a day! Quick easy read with quite an unusual situation that sets everything in motion.
pickI read this in one day, I could not put it down! An emotional story about grief, rebellion, anger, and love. This was probably one of my favourite CoHo books, along with Reminders of Him and Ugly Love. This did make me tear up in public 🫠😭
I'm content with the direction in which my life is headed, and I know if I obsess over the past, that obsession will only serve to anchor me in a place I am more than ready to move on from.
Since the day I found out the truth, so many questions have gone through my head. I used to think I needed the answers, but I no longer need them. I know that I loved the best versions of Jenny and Chris. But they fell in love with the worst versions of each other—the versions capable of betrayal and lies.
I recall what I wrote on my birthday board: Find your passion.
Maybe I don't have just one passion. Maybe I have several, and I've just never made myself and my wants a priority. The idea that I have the rest of my life to figure myself out is exciting. There are so many things I want to try, whether they work out or not. I think finding my passion is my passion.
“You're the first and only person in this world I've ever loved without some reasoning or justification behind it. I just love you because I can't help it, and it feels good to love you. The idea of getting to raise Elijah with you makes me happy.” … “I'm confident that I'll never spend a single second of my life regretting you."
Attraction isn‘t something that only happens once, with one person. lt‘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.”
"But heartache builds character. Remember?"
"So does being in love," he says.

+ always love a Colleen Hoover read
- realllllly wanted to read the letters
pick⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 💫
I honestly really enjoyed this second chance romance 💘 The combination of trauma, mother-daughter relationship, and a second chance at a true love WITH dual POV. It was good. Minus a half a point because I wanted to know what was in the letters.
pickRating: 5 🌟
I inhaled every word of Regretting You. Colleen Hoover does it again 👏🏻
Had the pool all to myself this morning which was the perfect way to finish this book!
Visited a new coffeeshop and treated my myself to something sweet.
pickWhat a fun summer read! I think this is my 4th CoHo book and I‘m loving every one of them.
Just started reading this book today and I‘m already hooked and loving it!
"I'm surrounded by everyone important to me, but for some reason, I feel more alone than I've ever felt."
pickSimilar to Reminders Of Him, this book is a touching and heart-wrenching story of the relationship between mother and daughter. It‘s a perfect mix of romance, friendship, family, grief, and betrayals. It‘s a dual point-of-view, and very impressive that Hoover can capture both of the characters outlooks so perfectly.
“I‘m scrubbing one of the bottles when it happens. I start crying. Lately when I start crying, I can‘t turn it off. I cry with Elijah at night. I cry with him during the day. I cry in the shower. I cry in the car. I have a perpetual headache and a perpetual heartache, and I wish the world would end. All of it. The whole world.
You know your life is shit when you‘re handwashing baby bottles and praying for Armageddon.”
“It means people who make mistakes usually learn from them. That doesn‘t make them hypocrites. It makes them experienced.”
“It‘s time I figure out who I was meant to become before I started living my life for everyone else.”
“You‘re a sacrificer. I don‘t even know if that‘s a real word, but that‘s what you are. You do things you don‘t want to do to make life better for the people around you. That doesn‘t make you boring, it makes you a hero.”
pickThis book felt different from the other Colleen books I have read, but I liked it. I really enjoyed the mother-daughter dynamic and honestly all the characters were just so likable. Some parts of the story were predicable and borderline cliché but it didn‘t take too much away from the story, overall I found it heartwarming
pickWow. Just wow. Such a great book about a mother and daughter relationship in the middle of tragedy.
May 17, 2022 I thouroughly enjoyed reading this book. I am not just saying that. I REALLY mean it. The comolex relationships that were built amongst Morgan, Jenny, Chris, and Jonah just made me keep reading... and reading. I wanted to find out what they felt for each other and how it would come to an end. However, the relationships that affected me the most were between Clara and her mom AND Clara and Miller.
May 16, 2022 Danggg! Sorry, are we allowed to swear? I mean, look at the amount of post its I used for the book Regretting You by Colleen Hoover??? I mean, the books that she writes make you want to mark certain things... am I right OR am I wrong? Anyway, I am on page 264 out of 354. Yayyyy almost there 😁😄🤐
May 14, 2022 Today I read from 9:30 am - 10:30 am. I should not be reading (technically) because I have to study BUT I couldn't resist reading more Colleen Hoover AND more about Millef and Claras's relationship with each other. Things are getting juicy between them. Between Clara and her mother; not so much
May 10, 2022 Did I lie or did I lie??? No AND No. I had three more books on my TBR for May and they are here. They finally arrived today from Amazon. Sigh I can't wait to read them. Not sure though how much time I will have in May but I will try to read when I can.
May 6, 2022 Since I am almost finished with my current book, WHAT MY BONES KNOW by Stephanie Foo, this will be my next book. I couldn't help myself so I decided to pick up another Colleen Hoover book. She has written so many books... I can't wait for It Starts With Us coming out in October. Eeekkk 😍
May 4, 2022 My new TBR stack!!! I will be getting three more in addition to this soon. Stay tuned.
pickI really enjoyed my first Hoover book! Getting over Covid and reading plenty of books!
panThis book featured TWO unplanned pregnancies, and also the second underaged pregnancy in CoHo books I‘ve read too! They are both painted way too positive, I hope teenagers who read this are smarter.
Clara was really annoying, Morgan way too boring and the whole conflict was solved in 1 page.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️/5

pick"I do not expect to be capable of expressing what I have felt for this book while reading it, is so much, betrayal, exasperation, anxiety, hope and most of all love. Is amazingly great! The kind you just wont let go until it ends." #BookReview #January2022
