Review:

It's been a while since I've been so engaged in a story that I don't want to put it down, but all that changed when I began reading Regretting You. Hoover's style of writing drew me in, and the characters, their interactions, and their story kept me captivate. This book had a mix of YA/Contemporary feel, and it was about more than the journey of two characters falling in love (in fact we were given not one but two romantic story lines). It was also about grief, betrayal, healing, changing relationships (both romantic and familial) and the complications that come with them. Told in dual point of view, we got the perspectives of both Morgan and her teenage daughter, Clara. While some of what unfolded in their situation was predictable, it didn't detract from my enjoyment. The characters had flaws, they made mistakes, they did things to lash out or kept quiet to protect another. I loved the realistic feel, and the reactions of each party seemed genuine and accurate, rather than over the top or unbelievable. The romantic relationships portrayed within the story were at times frustrating, but I easily invested in them and I saw their growth and development as the story moved forward. I rooted for each couple to be together, and I really felt those connections. All in all, Regretting You was an engrossing read. I would definitely recommend it if you're a fan of this genre.
