3.5 stars...I think, mainly because of the cliff-hanger ending.
Can I firstly say I love Cole. He's amazingly...amazing and so sweet, and so in love with Blake...awww!
Though I have to say I figured out that he was the boy, Nathan, from the start when it mentioned he had green eyes
>The storyline was intriguing and with the on again/off again relationship that Cole and Blake had going on I was hooked from early on.
I will have to read the second book in the series to figure out how it concludes after the cliff-hanger ending, though with how many books I have on my to-read, it may take a while to get around to it.

3.5 stars.
I liked reading about their dancing and how their relationship started with a spark from how well they worked together. Of course, it wasn't always smooth sailing as Natalia found Samson to be an arrogant ass and tried to have as little contact with him as possible while he wanted to get to know her.
I cant decide if I liked Kingsley. Sometimes she came across as a bit of a b*tch and other times she was cool and there for Natalia when she needed her. Wren sounds like my sort of guy, looks wise, no preppy clothes for him.
As for the change in POV from chapter to chapter, I'm more of a one POV fan.

I enjoyed this...
It just drove me a little mad at the same time. I mean how pig headedly oblivious can you be to the glaringly obvious, Becca? It was pretty obvious that he wanted you to be his from early on but you were so intent on not wanting to be anywhere near him, or talking to him or just anything relating to him. You drove me insane throughout the book so by the time you finally realised your feelings around the 92% mark I was cheering along with all your friends in the epilogue because FINALLY!!!
I've just seen an advert for a second book Four Years Later and I am very intrigued about reading more about their relationship.

As has been said by numerous other reviewers I am sure, the world building in this book is exquisite! I don't think I've seen the multiple world's idea done quite as well as I have here. It's certainly the most thought out and crafted, and would be hard to beat.
Both the main characters were will defined and their relationship is one I could definitely believe.
The one draw back is the plot reliance on the mcguffin. By the end it definitely had a feel of the Ring from Lord of the Rings, and ultimately I felt it was this that held the book back from being really great.
I look forward to continuing in this world with this charactera in the future.

I went into Regretting You blind, as I do with most of Colleen's books - I definitely don't regret it. While I confess to being super nosy and curious about the letters and what questions they could have answered, I have read Colleen's explanation, I can say I respect her reasoning. I also want to say that I loved how she explored the relationship between mother and daughter, I don't think that's a typical topic. I loved Jonah and Miller, they were both so great in their own ways! I was afraid of this book being a cliché, but Colleen is too good at her job, because none of it felt like any other storyline I've ever read. What a great way to start out 2020!
