A little too young-adult for my preference (high school relationship), good love story though, prefer a little more spice. A quick read and enjoyable still.

I loved the stories plot and the different world views between the daughter and mother… it was dramatic and I like how there were a few twists in the mix. Predictable but some things are still unexpected and I like predictability if the story is good. The only thing is I wouldn’t give a 5 ⭐️ because the ending was a little flat for me. I was expecting to hear more of “the future” for the happy couples.

“Regretting you,” by Colleen Hoover is an impressive work that explores the dynamic relationships between (mother) Morgan and her husband Chris, as well as as her sister Jenny and husband Jonah, not to mention Morgan’s daughter Clara.

The book begins with a flashback as Morgan (who is the same age — 16/17 — as her future daughter Clara) is with her boyfriend Chris and Jenny/Jonah. Morgan has been feeling off lately, like there’s an emptiness in her that she can’t quite pinpoint the cause to, and she’s startled at the realization that the only solution is Jonah. Soon enough the group is attending a graduation party that she thinks is 4 weeks after school ends but it’s actually 6 which leads to another jarring conclusion: she’s 12 days late for her period.

Flash forward to 17 years later, Morgan and Chris are married with their teenage daughter Clara, and Jenny (whose boyfriend Jonah left the day after Morgan realized she was pregnant), realizes SHE is pregnant, to which Jonah surprisingly steps up to the plate and comes back to help raise the child. That’s when everything gets turned upside down.

Morgan and Jonah both end up at the hospital for a tragedy neither of them could have ever seen coming, but which pales in comparison to the world shattering truths it uncovers. With everyone’s world turned upside down, the challenge becomes how to live with the truth, and not be stuck forever in the past.
