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 Thoughts:

Another great Colleen Hoover read. This is about Morgan and her teenage daughter Clara. They both find it hard to exist around each other but Morgan does not want her to end up how she did at her age, but what sixteen year old girl will listen to her mothers advice as she did not when she was that young. When tragedy strikes the family, Clara blames her mum but when Morgan finds out something that could shatter her daughter’s world she decides not to tell her. They both go through the grieving process but will they be able to connect once again? Morgan seeks comfort in someone close by and it’s how Clara will respond to that. It was a good read and storyline, I think readers will be able to relate somewhere in this story. It makes you think what you would do in Morgan’s situation. They were great well rounded characters and you go through different emotions reading the story. I raced through this book and loved it. A great read.
