"Regretting You" was a book that kept me hooked from beginning to end. The story is addictive, fast-paced, and filled with intense emotional moments that keep you in suspense. However, at some points I felt the plot had gaps and plot holes; there were moments when the events didn’t fully make sense or seemed a bit exaggerated. This kept me from loving it as much as I expected, despite my strong involvement with the characters.

The story mainly focuses on the mother-daughter relationship, following the dynamic between Jana and May as a tragic loss turns their world upside down. Through this relationship, secrets, conflicts, and the need for forgiveness and understanding come to the surface, giving depth to the characters and the narrative. Hoover handles family and romantic themes well, but the small inconsistencies and plot gaps slightly affect the overall experience.

Despite the plot holes, the book reads incredibly quickly and the reading experience is addictive—you don’t want to put it down until it’s finished. The movie that’s out now personally excites me, because it might portray better some parts that felt confusing in the book. If you love emotional dramas with powerful moments and relationships that touch the heart, it’s worth reading, but with a slightly critical eye on the plot holes.
