Regretting You

I had a hard time deciding between a 3 and a 4 star rating for this one, so I'll give it a 3.5. I really enjoy Colleen Hoover's writing style, which makes her books so easy to read and get lost in. I read this one in two days. I almost didn't make it past the first couple chapters, though. I am not a big fan of YA novels, and I didn't realize this one was in that category until I started it. However, when I got to the chapters written from the mother's point of view, I decided to stick with the book.

In this story, we follow both Morgan and her daughter Clara as they deal with the aftermath of a family tragedy. I found Morgan to be a well-developed and believable character. I sympathized with her as she lived through some very difficult situations. I loved how she was always looking out for the well-being of her daughter, even when it brought pain upon herself. Clara was not my favorite character. I found her to be a bit self-absorbed and whiny. I did not find her to be as relatable as Morgan, but that's probably because I am an adult like Morgan.

While I did not love this book, I did enjoy the read. I will continue to pick up Colleen Hoover's books in the future.
