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.

My Review: This was such an amazing book that I thought I wasn't going to like. Which would have been a first for me with the queen of stories Colleen Hoover! I actually loved how this story was split up with two POVs one of Clara who is almost seventeen years old and the other Morgan her mom. It gave us a well rounded story and let us know what both characters were feeling during the devastating loss within this story.
Colleen's titles have a way of taking you through the darkness only to find the light on the other side. And this one was no different. It really made me feel like it was two books in one. A young adult title with Clara's chapters and then a regular adult contemporary with Morgan's. It was a wonderful blend of age groups and relationships in this breathtaking story. Regretting You pulled me into the story early on and I fell in love with the humor, love, and even the hurt that goes thought the story.
I could not put this book down so be warned!! When I got going I was SO glad that my paper white was one of the newer models that was waterproof!! YES I was reading in the shower!! Don't judge me!! It was just that good that I didn't want to put it down!!

“The proof I need that grown-ups might not have their shit figured out any more than we do. They just wear more-convincing masks. That disappoints me.”
