Plot
A troubled young mother yearns for a shot at redemption in this heartbreaking yet hopeful story from #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover.
After serving five years in prison for a tragic mistake, Kenna Rowan returns to the town where it all went wrong, hoping to reunite with her four-year-old daughter. But the bridges Kenna burned are proving impossible to rebuild. Everyone in her daughter’s life is determined to shut Kenna out, no matter how hard she works to prove herself.
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.
The two form a connection despite the pressure surrounding them, but as their romance grows, so does the risk. Kenna must find a way to absolve the mistakes of her past in order to build a future out of hope and healing.
Review
Reminders Of Him was so heartbreaking and from the synopsis, I wasn’t even sure I would like the book. But I couldn’t stop reading. I took glances during my meetings and read it past my break. I finished work early so I could head home and continue reading, and kept on reading till the last page.
I loved the book. It was so heartbreaking and I couldn’t help but feel heartbroken for Kenna.
The beauty of Colleen Hoover’s books is that it draws you into the story and her writing style allows you to feel every emotion, heartbreak and thought that the characters feel which really brings the characters to life. I sympathised with both Keena and Scott’s parents. To be honest I couldn’t even pick a side I just wanted everyone to be happy.
This is not a sad book. I was narrating to my sister and she said It’s so sad. I replied by telling her it wasn’t a sad book. The circumstances were sad obviously but It wasn’t really a sad story. It was fun and intriguing, the side characters were interesting and it was fun to read the dynamic between all the characters.
If you are wondering if you should read Reminders of Him, I’d say you should totally give it a try, However, just do not go in with huge expectations and this is not one of the books where I’d advise you to go in blind, find out a bit about the story if it’s something you’d like.
