Regretting You by Colleen Hoover -- Restarting September 15th 2025

[Ashleigh]

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.

3% (view spoiler)[Okay I already love Jonah's and Morgan's relationship, the way they silently communicate and have each others' backs. And how Morgan realises her feelings <3 (hide spoiler)]

5% (view spoiler)[WOW 17 years later from Clara's POV! So she was pregnant she did have the baby and did call it Clara! So did she tell Chris... I love how CoHo does this so well and it's all just so amazing!! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I don't know why, but I thought Morgan and Jonah might have had more than that little connection. I really thought that maybe they were falling for each other. Was also not expecting the sudden whiplash to 17 years in the future with Morgan's daughter. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashleigh]

20% - (view spoiler)[Okay, so thoughts so far - Clara and Miller will obviously get together, Miller's grandpa is the best character and I want more of him already, I'm thinking Morgan and Jonah might have had a fling before he broke up with Jenny, or maybe he broke up with Jenny because he was in love with Morgan and that's why it's so awkward between them.

I thought Chris was a bit of a douche in the first chapter so I was confused as to why they stayed together. I don't think they'll last the book though... (hide spoiler)]

Yeah I feel their connection is so deep! Now I'm thinking it's only a small one based on what you said XD

[Maddie]

16% (view spoiler)[Don't really like how we jumped ahead to adult Morgan, I'm hoping we go backwards to how it all came about! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

21% (view spoiler)[OH THIS IS WHAT COHO DOES TO ME! I can't stop turning the pages! JENNY WAS IN THE CAR WRECK TOO!? Oh maaan! Were they cheating? Why were they in the car? Doing something for her birthday? (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

22% (view spoiler)[THEY BOTH DIED!? (hide spoiler)]

[Ashleigh]

29% - (view spoiler)[I'M IN COMPLETE AND UTTER SHOCK RIGHT NOW! Chris and Jenny have died in a car crash?? Also, they were having an affair and maybe Elijah is Chris' son????? I can't deal with all this. TOO MANY EMOTIONS! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Ashleigh wrote: "29% - [spoilers removed]"

Yeesss! I had an inkling that (view spoiler)[Elijah was Chris' son as soon as they thought they'd have an affair. And I was right about the affair as soon as she lied about working and they were in the car, although I wanted it to be a birthday surprise. I feel like CoHo's got too many great ideas now and it's almost predictable, she's running out? (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

37% (view spoiler)[I LOVE HOW CLARA GOT INTO JONAH'S HEAD. I'm so glad she was able to do that! Now I just need them to tell Clara what happened. And for Morgan and Jonah to get together. And also Miller and Clara. I was seriously so tense when Miller called Clara into his car and then was really struggling with her presence when he told her to get out. But I definitely wouldn't want to be 'that girl' either! (hide spoiler)]

[Ashleigh]

65% - (view spoiler)[Urgh, so much going on!

I love the relationship between Clara and Miller but I'm worried its moving too fast. And we finally got to know why he spent all that time avoiding her. I was thinking if they never interacted, why did he hate her? He didn't, he was in love with her. Makes sense.

My ship of Morgan and Jonah might come into fruition but yeah, it's gonna be awkward with Clara.

I'm dying for Morgan to read those letters. I wanna know how long it was going on for but at the same time, it will be crushing and heartbreaking. Fuck Jenny and Chris. Fuck them for what they did! (hide spoiler)]

[Ashleigh]

Maddie wrote: 37% - [spoilers removed]

(view spoiler)[Yeah I loved how she went over there and was like I'm gonna make you get your shit together and it worked! Go Clara! (hide spoiler)]

[Ashleigh]

Finished - (view spoiler)[UGH, SO MANY FEELINGS! I'm so happy that Morgan and Jonah can finally be together and that Clara learned the truth. I was waiting on Morgan reading the letters so we could find out more about the affair, but I appreciate that she didn't want to remember them like that and wanted to remember the good times.

Also, Miller's video. Soooooooooo freaking cute. I love this boy. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Alright I think I need to make an effort now with some novels..

[Maddie]

69% (view spoiler)[CLARA OF COURSE HE WAS GOING TO FIND OUT AND BE MAD! I expected him to find out later, but he'd still find out. And I really respect and appreciate him for staying with her and comforting her while she cried. But Clara made the most wrong decision she ever could have. But I'm glad Miller stayed.

I need Morgan to just tell Clara what they did, because now Clara thinks that Morgan's the Jenny of the relationship! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

82% (view spoiler)[I HATE CLARA! I never ever want a child like her! I'd have no idea what to do if I was Morgan! I'd probably slap her! (hide spoiler)]

Yes! I still think she's running out of good ideas, like some of the first books I read of hers I still enjoy more, but maybe my expectations are high now
(view spoiler)[I needed those letters, and then she rips them up! I WAS SO MAD!
But I just found it so cute how Miller kept whispering at the camera 'Clara will you go to prom with me'. (hide spoiler)]

I nee..."

(view spoiler)[I loved that ending. I was wondering why he kept setting the camera up at random times, but that promposal or whatever you call it was the best and had me smiling like an idiot. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashleigh]

Maddie wrote: "82% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[They were both really annoying me because they were so villainous in each other's chapters, then cut to them being like why am I having issues with my mother/daughter, and it's like BECAUSE YOU CAN'T COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER WITHOUT ATTACKING THEM, JUST STOP! I wanted to slap them both at times. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yeah! Exactly! Communication is the key to a happy life in every single aspect!

[Maddie]

And something CoHo's characters are bad at doing..

[Karen]

Jill, did you manage to get your copy yet? I’m hoping to start this later on today/early Sunday.

[Karen]

Ch1. Interesting to have our introduction to Morgan before she becomes a mum. It offers a little info about her life/thoughts. The detail about her feelings for Jonah will, I’m sure, become important later.

[Karen]

Up to ch4. Being defined by the word ‘predictable’ isn’t going to make many people feel good about themselves.

[Karen]

Up to ch6. Nothing confirmed, but if it is as things seem then this will totally screw people up.

[Karen]

Up to ch9. (view spoiler)[ No doubt that her husband and sister were having an affair. Now it seems Elijah might be her husband’s. Hurts, but I’d be telling everyone-there’s no way anyone can deal with grieving and that level of betrayal. (hide spoiler)]

[Karen]

Up to ch17. Guessing we’ll have a lot of the next chapters with nobody talking truthfully to each other, which will lead to unnecessary bad feeling...and, eventually, something will snap.

[Karen]

Up to ch27. Guess there’s still room for it to get worse, but the inevitable discussion has to come soon.

[Karen]

Finished. Review on home page. Jill, I’ll keep checking for when you start and am curious to see what you make of it.

[Bayan]

chapter 3
this book is already giving me great vibes because I just love any book that talks about relationships between parent and child or how the mother feels or how the child feels I just love it, that said I hate the miscommunication that's happening between the main characters right now, I hope it's getting better soon.

[Bayan]

chapter five
well this is messed up i hate (view spoiler)[deaths (hide spoiler)] in the beginning of the book.

[Bayan]

chaoter 25
well shit she's overreacting. i get it but u were 17 once will u stop being a drama queen.

[Bayan]

chapter 34

I am a wreck. i hate how she pieced the puzzle herself and dealt with it, but holy shit i loved how the mom gave her what she needed, i think it's beautiful that the writer put that scene in, the scene where the mom is so selfless that in spite of wanting to be with her daughter Right now she understands that her daughter needs something else, putting her daughter's needs before her desires. beautiful.

[Bayan]

finished:
(view spoiler)[
that last thing was absolutely tear jerking. Miller's perfect and romantic and hilarious and clara deserves him after what she's been through and I don't like the relationship between Jonah and Morgan but u cant always have what u want so all good
(hide spoiler)]
had a good time with this one

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[ Oh my gosh!!!! I thought it was only Chris that dies is it Jenny as well!!!! Arghhhh i can't believe it!!! And maybe Elijah isn't Jonahs but Chris' arghhh what the hell!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Caitlin]

Chapter 13
(view spoiler)[ Arghh I knew it!!! I knew Elijah would be Chris'!!! Honestly I really want Clara to find out because then she will stop blaming herself!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Caitlin]

Chapter 24
(view spoiler)[ All these lies and miscommunications are killing me! arghhhhhg (hide spoiler)]

[Caitlin]

Chapter 25
(view spoiler)[ I know emotions are running high but I would be so annoyed if I was Clara! Morgan isn't even giving Miller an chance and considering she was pregnant at 17 you would think she would guide her child to have safe sex rather than just ban it!!!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Caitlin]

Chapter 35
(view spoiler)[ I'm so glad Clara found out!!! She finally realises her mothers love for her is selfless and genuine! Enough so that she wanted to be seen as the villain so Clara could hold onto her memories of her Dad and Jenny (hide spoiler)]

[Caitlin]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ I'm so glad they all got their happy ending!!! @Bayan why don't you like Jonah and Morgans relationship? (hide spoiler)]

[Bayan]

Caitlin wrote: "Finished
[spoilers removed]"

Idk it feels like she paired them up (the author) just because they were there, i didn't find much depth to the idea of their friends dating either. But the relationship between Morgan and Clara, and the romance between the teens was very well written I fully support it

[Jenn]

I'm going to join this one with you guys and reread this for the movie :)

[Jenn]

Chapter 7: (view spoiler)[ I'd forgotten how heavy this book is and it just dives right in. I cant even imagine being in Morgans shoes. Your husband and sister havign an affair. And i bet that baby is 100% theirs. Which poor Jonah. This is such an ugly mess for everyone. I also wish Clara would talk to her mom about how she feels. She feels like she caused the accident when thats completely not true. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapter 20: (view spoiler)[ its really hard being in Clara's head and hearing constantly about her love for her aunt. I also wonder why shes not questioning more why her aunt and dad were together? I guess she did buy the store of the flat tire if that was what was told to her... but then she thinks she killed her aunt by texting (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapter 33: (view spoiler)[ finally clara finds out the truth. Just took her getting drunk and rambling about how she was the one who caused the accident. And she worked it out herself, morgan didnt even need to do it. As much as it hurt, im glad clara knows. Morgan didnt deserve the hate she was getting. Neither did jonah (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ the promposal video was so cute. I admire morgan for burning the letters. I would have probably read them even if it destroyed me. (hide spoiler)]
