Review: Regretting You by Colleen Hoover

Review

This book has been one of my most anticipated reads of the month. When I first started reading it did take me sometime to get into the story. Then the book reached a turning point and I couldn’t stop reading because I had to see how everything would unfold. One thing I predicted happened but there was another revelation that didn’t even occur to me at all. It’s bad enough this person was lying but to involve another person in their lie and make them up route their life based on this lie wasn’t right at all.

This book focuses heavily on the complexity of mother/daughter relationships. My heart went out to both Morgan and Clara in this book because they were so alike and in my opinion that’s why they bumped heads. I understood Morgan’s fears but that doesn’t mean Clara will make the same mistakes. Clara had a lot going on in this book and at times I wanted to shake her and then give her a big hug as well. I felt like if Morgan and Clara actually took the time to listen to each other things would have been better between the two.

“Sometimes you have to walk away from the fight in order to win it.’’

This. I’ve been there and truer words have never been spoken.

I must say Colleen Hoover is one heck of a writer. This topic is one that has been written before and can get stale after a while but Hoover has a unique way of writing that kept me interested until the very end. I have read several books by Hoover and even though this book isn’t a top favorite of mine it still made me stop and think which is always a good thing.
