Regretting You

i like the messiness of the relationships, might very well be my fav Colleen’s book

I feel bad for giving this 2 stars, but it's just out of personal preference and a reminder to myself that I absolutely hate books that involves so much anger and conflict between a mother and daughter.

all i can say this book is full of drama. this book is about relationship between a parent and a child, the seeking and the challenges of growing up. i actually enjoyed it. but oh i wish there’s no miscommunication and misunderstanding. this book literally made me MAD like so mad after finish it. the ending was worth it and i enjoyed it so much. it was sad and heavy read. i hate that trope so much i want to punch people on the face. i really want to know the content of the letters 😫😫 the grieving in here also slowly heal throughout the book. i can say more bcs i don’t even know hot to describe this book. overall it was okay.

** spoiler alert ** 3.5 I’m not interested in reading a book with cheating as a main plot line, but especially when it involves close friends or family... it’s a no-go for me. Soooo needless to say, the first 100 pages I was annoyed that I even started this book to begin with. But after the first third of the book, I focused more on Clara’s relationship with her mom and Miller and I ended up enjoying it a lot more than I expected. Plus Colleen Hoover’s writing style is easy to read and fast paced. I have a feeling this won’t be one of my favorites by her but I still liked it so 3.5 stars it is!!!

I didn't really understand the point in this book. It was basically just a story. Nothing extravagant or really interesting. I think it did have a good message though, that things aren't always what they seem.

** spoiler alert ** I might have stayed up until 2 am last night to get to 80% in this book but it was so good my heart actually aches for Morgan and Clara. With the death of Chris and the secrets him and Jenny held it really did crush this family. Overall the book was a four because I feel like multiple chapters were rushed. Still an AMAZING book tho.

“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 were on an eternal coaster that just reached the bottom. It’s gonna be up and down and upside down for a long, long time. Maybe even forever.” Got this book loan from my cousin and it took a bit while for me to finish it since I was distracted by my stuffs and other books but glad that I can finish it by now… It was so deep, like fresh flesh cutting on the broad. This book is full of depression expression and made me recall to be grateful for everything I have in my life. Also, the five of grief moment showed from time to time— while noticing this term comes and can get along if we have support family or friends around us. Well, I am glad Clara have ones! Entirely! I wish I read this book in one sitting that MAYBE the story can make me flattered more… gonna re-read it someday if I have time, probably.

(light spoilers) tbh Jonah was the only bearable character in this book. and what happened with lexie? like she was mentioned only once or twice, saying something like: "clara, if you go out with miller, do not forget about me." AND WHAT DID CLARA DO? lexie was never mentioned after that i'm sorry, but the miscommunication in this book was HORRIBLE and way to much, like just open you're damn mouth. thank you very much. and who was the worst: clara. like could you please, PLEASE shut up? Not everything is about you. EVERY chapter she had something to cry about or someone to blame for absolutely nothing. like... this is how you see every teenager colleen hoover? really? I mean, yeah sure, maybe everything is more dramatic at this age, but you immediately knew that this was written by an adult who thinks to know everything about the thoughts of a 16 year old. still I would give it a 2.5☆ because the writing was easy to get through, liked the idea of the storyline (NOT how it turned out). wouldn't recommend, but if you like drama, drama and more DRAMA, well this is the perfect book for you!😃

3.5/5 This book was hard to read. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I’m still grieving a loss, or maybe it has to do with one of the major plots of the story (that I won’t spoil) that brings back memories I don’t like. It made me uncomfortable, but frankly, that’s not the books fault, nor is it Colleen Hoovers fault. CoHo is still an amazing writer and she did a great job with this book, however it didn’t have me feeling the same way other books by her made me feel, hence why I’m rating this a bit low. Although, I have to say I absolutely adore Lexie’s character.

** spoiler alert ** One of the best book but not my type!!!....... 😉

Obsessed w all her books

A good read that I enjoyed. 💕

“𝗜’𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜’𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂.” I like emotional books, but this is TOO emotional. The characters are too broken and I never thought there would be hope of Clara and Morgan to heal after what Chris and Jenny left behind. I will never forgive them.

Really good

i think it's not her best work? i love everything she writes but for me the plot was introduced so early and everything after that was predictable.

not one of her best books but i liked the twist! clara was getting a little annoying, but she was hurting so it’s understandable. i loved jonah’s character! overall good book

Colleen Hoover is amazing! However, her books usually make me ugly cry for a couple of hours and this one didn't! Step it up ma'am! I need to cry and you didn't force some tears out of me this time....

Okay, so it's kinda like Gilmore Girls what with the book written in both the POV of both Mom (who got pregnant when she was a teenager) and daughter, but it's not really like Gilmore Girls. This is not really a review but more like my feelings towards people referring to Clara as a brat. So, here's the thing, Clara was acting like such a brat—that's true—but, I could understand why. If you don't, then congratulations cause you've lived a pretty good life and has a pretty good relationship with your parents, and also, maybe you're just Asian and grew up in a culture where talking back to parents (even in a polite and calm manner) is frowned upon. I'm not gonna defend Clara but she was pissed off and angry and hurting and grieving. I acted the same way even before my Dad died (which happened a few years after my rebellion phase) and I wasn't proud of it but at the time, it was all justified and rational in my head because I was mad at the world. Of course now, I know better. But I guess, instead of calling Clara nothing but a brat, maybe we should try to see where she's coming from. --- Review soon. Maybe?

WHY DOES LIKE NO ONE TALK ABOUT THIS BOOK?!?! i think this is my new favorite by her. it broke me but at least it put me back together in the end

This books was so good like literally all of Colleen’s books so no surprise I have it a 5 stars. I absolutely loved the plot twist that was harsh but so smooth and I loved that it helped the characters to develop. It has a very great perspective on motherhood and teenagehood. So overall very great book go read it.

** spoiler alert ** I just don't know what to say besides that Clara and Jenny effed up my mind. After whatever happened to Chris and Jenny. Clara effed up my mind smh I just couldn't stop crying but I am happy that Jonah and Morgan ended up together! I am glad they did, they deserved it after everything they went through.
