Overview

From #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Ends with Us comes a poignant 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.

  • "Sometimes you have to walk away from the fight in order to win it.”

    Jennifer E. - 3 years 3 months ago

    “The two people she’s leaned on for most of her life are the same two people who weren’t there to catch her when she fell…they’re the ones who made her fall in the first place.” Colleen Hoover's Regretting You is about betrayal in the worst way possible by the two people you think would never hurt you: your sister and your husband. “Chris doing something like this was a knife to my heart. But Jenny? That’s an obliteration of my soul…My husband is dead. My sister is dead. Their illegitimate child has been handed over for me to raise, when my own daughter barely speaks to me anymore. I’m not qualified for this.” “People who make mistakes usually learn from them. That doesn’t make them hypocrites. It makes them experienced…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 to 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. Your body and heart don’t stop finding the beauty and the attraction in other people simply because you’ve made a commitment to one person. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you’re drawn to someone else, it’s up to you to remove yourself from that situation because it becomes too hard to fight…Sometimes you have to walk away from the fight in order to win it.” “Heartache builds character…So does being in love.” A “relationship isn’t always going to be sunshine and roses, but whenever there’s a break in the storm…bask in those moments of sunshine…I regret the choices he made, but I don’t regret the choices I made.” In the wake of their cheating lovers’ absence, Morgan and Jonah turn to each other for solace. “Before we made love for the first time, I told you I’d regret it, but I’ve never been more wrong. I didn’t regret it that night, and I don’t regret it now. I’m confident that I’ll never spend a single second of my life regretting you.”

  • All the feels

    Chriatal E. - 4 years 11 months ago

    Beautiful story of families and the many shapes they come in. The dynamic between the mother and daughter was so fun and so frustrating because you just want them to see eye to eye. I absolutely adored this book. This story of love, grief, and forgiveness was truly inspiring. #SpringPicks

  • Must read!

    Kelsey R. - 5 years 10 months ago

    I absolutely loved reading this book!!! It’s awesome how it tells the mothers point of view as well as the daughters. It’s a good book for daughters to read and also mothers. I really enjoyed it!

  • This mother/daughter suffered an impossible situation

    Jennifer T. - 5 years 10 months ago

    Colleen Hoover puts this mom and daughter in the most impossible situation and it’s so gut wrenching to see them go through it. The story alternates between the mother and daughters perspectives and their journeys through grief and the past. I don’t want to give any spoilers so I’ll leave it at that. It’s an amazing story and I don’t know how Colleen manages to tell such powerful stories in such different ways.
