In episode four, we analyze Regretting You by Colleen Hoover — discussing both the book and its film adaptation. We talk about the mother-daughter dynamic at the heart of the story, the twists that reshape everything, and how the themes of grief, secrets, and second chances land differently on the page versus on screen. We also get into what worked for us, what didn’t, and whether the adaptation captured the emotional core of the novel. If you’ve read it, watched it, or are deciding if either is worth your time, this one’s for you.LinksOfficial author website: (https://www.colleenhoover.com/)Regretting You: (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44582454-regretting-you?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_14)Colleen Hoover on Goodreads: (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5430144.Colleen_Hoover)Chapters(00:00) - Intro (05:55) - Upcoming books (07:05) - Book summary (spoiler-free) (08:16) - SPOILER ALERT!
