And love wounds with such simplicity: REGRETTING YOU.

Regretting You by Colleen Hoover
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Quick read with lots of drama!

Getting pregnant as a teen wasn't part of Morgan's plans. But it brought her her beloved daughter Clara, now 16. Morgan made things work with Clara's dad, Chris, and they have a good life. But Morgan and Clara's lives are upended after a tragic accident involving Chris changes everything.

This is a quick read, somewhat cheesy, but addictive. Morgan marries young after getting pregnant and always dreams about what could have been. As a teen, she was close with her husband's best friend, Jonah, who reappears in their lives after he gets her sister, Jenny, pregnant. There's plenty of drama, compounded by her daughter, Clara, now a teen herself, falling for her own boyfriend, Miller. Luckily this is actually a pretty cute relationship and practically could have been its own book.

Plenty of silly things happen, but many sad moments occur too. There's lots of tension and excitement as well, much of it overly so, causing some eye rolling, especially as it occurs without proof. Is there a lot of character development? No. But it's still somewhat easy to get caught up in the characters and their stories. The ending is cute, even if it wraps up very easily.
