Regretting You

This book made me so 'full' with joy and satisfaction and so many emotions, leaving behind such a good feeling that I don't want to let go at all. It's the kind of book hangover that I wish lasts for many many days. It's so well thought and so beautifully written that I was sobbing. It was a good feeling, the tears making my heart warm, filling it with so much joy, so many highlights that I would love to revisit and so many good scenes that I will cherish for a very long time. Firstly, hats off to Colleen Hoover. I was bowled over my Verify and this book has be soaring in sky, feeling so light and happy. Her versatility in such contrasting genre is commendable. Coming to this book, it truly spoke to my very soul. It was such sincere, respectful and thoughtful story telling. Everything about this book is absolutely beautiful and so very realistic. It's appeal comes from its simplistic style as well as the colourful array of character. I loved every one of them, and though I wasn't the greatest fans of Chris and Jenny, they were so essential for this story to play out the way it did. And everything was handled with so much grace and maturity, I am completely speechless and in awe. This story is about love, friendship, marriage, family and parenting. Each and every topic is touched upon in different ways, making it even sort of a role model kind of story. Morgan's family is far from perfect and yet when everything comes together at the end, it makes for a perfect story. There are so many stories happening in parallel - Morgan and Jonah grieving the tragedy and betrayal of their loved ones and rekindling their unsaid and unspoken about feelings for one another. Clara and Miller experiencing their first relationship and falling in love for the very first time. There is also the crux of the story - The strained relationship between mother and daughter (Morgan and Clara). I am falling short of words to express how everything ties together and how well balanced it was. Every character gets their limelight and their feelings get woven to the overall story and no character seems forgotten. Their is a learning curve, growth and a past to each and every one of them and that's what makes for a such a complete and rounded story. I loved all characters especially Jonah, Miller and Morgan (in the same order). 1) Jonah - For being so selfless, thoughtful and level-headed guy. This guy is the epitome of being a good guy. 2)Miller - he is so romantic and cute! His love for Clara is adorable, and so believable. They are still teenagers, so they do mess up little here and there, yet Miller shines through. His relationship with his grandpa is another highlight of this book. 3) Morgan - She is a strong and selfless woman, also such a selfless and caring mother. Her patience and strength is so inspiring. I really look up to her. There is so much happening in this book and there is not even a single point where it felt boring. The pacing is that good and there is no over the top drama either. All character interactions and advices they give one another was such a delight to read. So heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. And the relevance of the title to the story is so fitting. It's one of the those rare gems which is just perfect. I recommend everyone to read this! It's that good. Loved it. Best read of the year for me.

The overall experience was heart warming. This book went from a number of emotions it was like a rollercoaster ride starting from a bit of calmness and the calmness somehow always felt like the calm before the storm and like a ride,it also ended in a calm manner. I just feel it was a fit fast paced sometimes, especially the ending. But ya, overall nicee

Colleen Hoover's book never disappoint me

The book perfectly showcased all the emotions There is just one thing I disliked, when and how did Jenny and Chris affair started. Were they like this from starting. Epilogue just for the reader could have been nice We were as invested as the protagonists were

I feel it didn’t solve every thing for me. I am left wondering why the said 2 people would do that in the first place or when it started. The rating was going to be lower for that reason but the Miller movie bumped it to a 4 - that was one of the sweetest things I have read.

I read it on Kindle. This is a dual POV novella. Morgan and her daughter Clara go through a terrible life incident that turned their world upside down. If that wasn't enough, their relationship now is at an all time low and they only the truth can set all things straight now. But the truth is not always black and white. Colleen Hoover takes us to the journey of that greyish truths of life which a person has to face and accept while dealing with perpetual heartache. I love all the character building in this novel especially of Clara and Miller. I love how he loves Clara but also grounds her in her most tragic time. Also the similarities between Jonah's and Miller's character is so lovable. Also I love the ending and how the issues are addressed. My favorite lines from the book are : 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 I’ll never be attracted to anyone else.’ You’re saying, ‘I promise to commit to you, despite my potential future attraction to other people.’”

CoHo does it again.. I don’t know how can someone write and depict each emotion so perfectly yet keeping it raw. This one here made me feel angry.. I cried.. I felt sad and also made me realise certain things. Decision made regarding what you want in life.. and how you want to end is important.. always make decisions which you will never Regret in life..( specially when deciding the partner with whom you want to share your journey with) Anything which requires you to decide mingled with inappropriate time can be fateful.. This was so true for Morgan Judgement based on knowledge of half of the facts can be dangerous .. I felt it for Clara, although rebellious teenagers can go upto any extent but mostly I felt sad and angry for her behaviour towards her mom Jonah- what Can I say for him. I felt happy that he didn’t made incorrect choices and rather distant himself and made Morgan realise what she was missing for 17 years.. Chris and Jenny - I felt angry and sad- they made some worst choices which affected everyone and everything.. again wrong choices at wrong time.. I felt happy how each character hit the rock bottom but pulled each other and matured over time through the book. Emotions can definitely make you strong and prepare you to face anything and everything.

This book does not make the readers regret their choice of reading this. Miller and Jonah characters are chiseled perfectly by the writer. Morgan is a perfect mom who loves her family and is ready to spare her dream for them. When Morgan’s void is filled by the writer through Jonah I feel satisfied for her. Thank you Hoover!!
