Reminders of Him: A Novel

Product Information

People say you fall in love, but fall is such a sad word when you think about it. Falls are never good. You fall on the ground, you fall behind, you fall to your death.” I truly believe that Kenna is not over Scotty and never will be. Throughout the whole book I felt as if Scotty was developed more as a character/love interest than Ledger, circumstance brought Kenna and Ledger together with a sprinkle of lust. When Tate moves in with her brother, she isn't looking for love, but it doesn't hurt that the man next door is probably the most handsome man she has seen, and to make it better, they share a hard-to-miss mutual attraction. Fortunately, none of them have the time for love. And their friends-with-benefits relationship is made easier by Miles' rules. I say this because there was no chemistry between them. It was just lust from day one. Too insta love for me. They didn't even know each other. Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover was just published, and I know there’s been a lot of excitement among her fans around the release of her newest novel. (And it’s free on Kindle Unlimited if you have that subscription or want to sign up for a free trial.)

i will say that although kennas determination to be a good mom to her daughter is worth reading about, ledger totally steals the show. he is put in an unfathomable position and i think CoHo has written his character very well. I knew I would love it as soon as I read the synopsis, but I was not ready to be bombarded with these intense emotions. And it's interesting to see how these complicated feelings were expressed by all parties involved in this story. All were valid. And it makes you think what your own reaction would've been like.The part she mentions the title of her books brings me so much relief everytime... because she had told the most parts of her stories by then and I can totally understand what she means each time. Unfortunately, Reminders of Him simply didn’t resonate with me. I kind of feel like I read a different book than everyone else as I didn’t connect with the storyline or the characters. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes throughout and felt that the entire book was OTT. This is perhaps only the second book of COHO’s that I didn’t care for. It is what it is. I think this is one that will go down as more enjoyable because I listened to it. I always love the Brittany Pressley and Ryan West duo combo narration. Had I read this one I don't think it would have captured much of my attention.

It proves that time, distance, and devastation allow people enough opportunity to craft villains out of people they don’t even know.” What about us? You're just going to walk away?.. Kenna, don't. Please. Wait a few weeks. Let's just see what happens.' 'We know what happens. We'll keep seeing each other in secret and we'll fall in love, but they won't change their minds and I'll still have to leave, but it'll hurt a hell of a lot worse in a few weeks than if I were just to leave right now.' Ledger stomps over to me and shuts my suitcase. 'Stop it.' He makes me turn and face him by pulling me in and wrapping me up in his arms. 'Stop. Please.' We're too late. It already hurts so bad. I press my hands against his shirt and grip it in my fists. I start to cry. "

I’m obsessed with your books! My first one was Verity, couldn’t put it down. I’m working on reading all of them. You’re truly an amazing writer, thank you! Reply And I know that Kenna likes Ledger, for some reason. I know this. But it just seems so hypocritical of Ledger to tell Kenna that she's using him to get to her daughter when he's the one who's shoving his tongue down her throat and coaxing her into having sex with him. have a daughter I have never held. She has a scent I have never smelled. She has a name I have never yelled. She has a mother who has already failed. Love, Kenna”

In Reminders of Him, Kenna Rowan is a 26-year-old woman who has recently been released from prison after causing the death of her boyfriend, Scotty, in a drunk driving accident five years earlier. so even though this didnt make me feel as light-hearted as i usually do with her books, i did feel something. admiration. grief. hope. discouragement. anger. but also happiness. it ends on a good note. <3 i was this close to tears several times - and not because Colleen's writing is in any way shape or form moving to me - it's because i don't even want to look at this, let alone read it. Ledger is Kenna’s dead boyfriend’s (Scotty) best friend who’s been taking care of her daughter along with Scotty’s parents. What do you want, Ledger?' 'I want to get to know you better.' 'What do you want to know?' 'More about you. Your likes, your dislikes, your goals. What do you want to do with your life?' "A poignant yet heartwarming love story of a mother yearning for her daughter, Reminders Of Him, is unequivocally the best book by Colleen Hoover and boasts a Goodreads rating of 4.52. Second, it’s only the first month of 2022, and here’s CoHo wreaking havoc on my heart with another one of her tragedies. Again. 😢 And this time, she even managed to drag COLDPLAY into it. What a travesty! 😒

Overall, it was an emotional read that made my eyes water, but ultimately it read like a typical women’s fiction (that was evidently “CoHo,” but didn’t bear her special trademark). I don’t think this is a must read for CoHo fans, but if you have FOMO, then I suggest don’t come in with high expectations. Maybe then you’d appreciate the book more than I did. ✋ And then he offers her a job- to help her out. Well, ok. But he only gives her the job because he has feelings for her. And the whole time he's being an ass to her and saying she's scum, and then he's getting all salty and possessive when she talks to her co-workers. PUH-LEASE. Not to mention that he's her boss at this point and he knows he's one of her only sources of income, he keeps putting her in sexual situations where it's arguably hard for Kenna to say no.Yes, Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover has a happy ending and all the storylines are tied up tightly at the conclusion of the book.
