It’s not CoHo if it isn’t full of painful truths. This book explores how unfair the world is towards ex-felons, especially female ones, and the challenges they face in navigating life after prison. It also highlights how powerless they are, especially those who also happen to be mothers. I didn’t outrightly cry, but this book did get me teary eyed. With her emotions running high, Kenna delivers a heartfelt and passionate speech, expressing her love for her daughter and her remorse for the mistakes she has made in the past. The intensity of her words resonates with the readers as they witness the raw vulnerability and desperation in her voice. Hopefully one day I find out. Almost one out of every two couples divorce,” he says, his voice hopeful. UPDATE: despite EVERYTHING this book made it to the final round of the Goodreads Choice Awards; we really do be living in a society... 🤡

BOOK REVIEW: Reminders of Him - Natasha is a Book Junkie BOOK REVIEW: Reminders of Him - Natasha is a Book Junkie

i hope those two have fun but i'm outta here. dnf 50% in. thank you for everyone who encouraged me to do this: i love you. everyone who wanted me to finish: i have nothing to say to you. UPDATE: THIS BOOK NEEDS TO BE TURNED INTO A MOVIE😢💕!!!! Also, this book deserves an infinity star rating✨💗!!! Still thinking about this book till this day 05/06/2022!! Colleen Hoover still owes me boxes of tissues😪!!!! Yes, I made it roughly 70% through this tragic book before I allowed myself the grace to stop reading it. Ledger puts some pieces together early on in the book and figures out who Kenna really is. Aside from the whole still-kissing-Ledger-when-she-knows-he's-her-dead-boyfriends-best-friend thing, my heart truly went out to Kenna in this story. I think that's why I kept reading for so long, I was waiting for everyone to have empathy for her, to try to put themselves in her shoes and forgive her. complexities of love and relationships where Kenna and Ledger must navigate their feelings for each other while also trying to do what is best for Diem.

Synopsis

I still don't know if what happened between us the first night you showed up at my bar was authentic, or if it was all an act to get to Diem.' I rest my head against the wall and watch Ledger's expression. He's looking at me with patience, and not at all with judgment. It's like he truly does want to know if the kiss we shared was authentic. It's almost as if it meant something to him. 'I didn't know who you were until you said your name.' I admit. 'I was literally sitting on your lap when I realized you knew Scotty. Seducing you wasn't part of some master plan.' " Anyway, Kenna rightly decides that "talking will only get [her] into trouble" but what does she do instead? She slides onto his lap and immediately starts making out with him. Yes, our girl IS that desperate. Straight romances, I swear??? Lady Diana aka Lucy - Is Lady Diana my favorite CoHo character ever? yes. as she deserves. LD lives in Kenna's apartment complex, works at the same grocery store as Kenna, befriends her as her first friend, and has Down's Syndrome. I love how welcoming and protective of Kenna she is, so much so she calls Ledger a jerk after he makes her cry. Look at this iconic behavior, your favs could NEVER: For the majority of the book, I kept waiting for that one mindblowing twist that CoHo is known for, but the fact that THERE’S NOT ONE SINGLE PLOT TWIST (besides Ledger the BFF) is utterly disappointing, disappointingly underwhelming, and very unbecoming of CoHo. It was hard to comprehend and accept that the accident happened because Kenny was being careless and irresponsible. Even when she described it in detail near the end of the book, the logic was somewhat lost on me.

REMINDERS OF HIM | Kirkus Reviews

Most of his personality was developed around him fighting the inner battle of believing whether Kenna is good or not. He was a nice enough hero, but there was nothing special or groundbreaking about him. I didn't believe in his love for Kenna, everything about their coupling felt forced and forged only by the bond they share through Diem and the loss of Scotty. Now, we have Kenna walking into the bar who is so naturally stunning and pretty, the second Ledger lays his eyes on her he "overfill[s] the glasses and water goes everywhere". Listen, love-at-first-sight might be some people's favourite trope but it sure as hell isn't mine. Reading that gave me second-hand embarrassment. Where is the build-up? The romantic tension? You want me to root for these two dumb-asses but then give me nothing to root for because they're in love the second they meet?? At the heart of "Reminders of Him" lies the theme of redemption. The novel explores the profound desire of Kenna Rowan to make amends for her past mistakes and reclaim the life she lost. It delves into the complexities of forgiveness, personal growth, and the lengths one must go to rebuild trust and find closure. Also, we learn that Ledger was engaged but broke up because his bride didn’t like Ledger’s extreme involvement in Egg’s life.

The only person who hasn't closed the door on her completely is Ledger Ward, a local bar owner and one of the few remaining links to Kenna's daughter. But if anyone were to discover how Ledger is slowly becoming an important part of Kenna's life, both would risk losing the trust of everyone important to them. i was told to see the bright side in things, so, on the bright side: i now know what book to add to my worst reads of the year in december, so look forward to that. The scene is tense as Kenna's words hang in the air, awaiting a response from those who hold power to grant her the chance she so desperately seeks. Each character's reaction and subsequent actions contribute to the emotional weight of the scene.

Book Review: Reminders of Him novel by Colleen Hoover Book Review: Reminders of Him novel by Colleen Hoover

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. ✋ If you are a fan of Colin Hoover, you must have read his most popular book Reminders of Him PDF, It Ends With Us, because a romance journey can never be complete without a Colin Hoover novel. i have never liked CoHo's writing. idk, it's just trying too hard to be poetic and deep without having this nice and flowy feel to it that actual good poetic prose has The male protagonist is sort of a generic romantic protagonist, but I liked that the main character of Kenna had a nice sense of personality which helped me to appreciate and root for their relationship. Kenna is described as someone with a unfortunate childhood, resulting in being someone in her younger years who wasn’t really “put together”, dressed somewhat provocatively and wasn’t the type of person parents wanted their son to bring home. I liked her imperfections, and it made the story feel a little more real to me. Some CriticismsFeeling heartbroken and seeing her break down emotionally, Lazarus’ perception of her begins to change as she was judgmental in their initial interactions. 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.” We gonna talk about this?.. You think I'm trying to hook up with her? You think I would do that to you after everything you've done for me?' " Ledger is a guy who can be a middle ground between Kenna and her daughter Dim as he lives across the street from Scotty’s parents and develops a good relationship with them and develops a friendship with Dim. Ledger offers Kenna a part-time job to help stabilize her financially. During their conversation, Kenna reveals to Ledger that she has written many letters to Scotty that Ledger should read. This letter also contains the mystery of Scotty’s death.
