REMINDERS OF HIM Book Review

Reminders of Him¹ by Colleen Hoover, eBook, 335 pages

Synopsis from GoodReads: 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.

BOOK REVIEW: This is my second Colleen Hoover book and I can definitely see how people just devour these books. I am by no means a fast reader so I cannot physically get through these books in a day but I could definitely put a hurt on one if all I had to do in the a day was read!

I give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. There was entirely too much crying on my end. The story definitely pulled at my heart strings. My daughter is the same age as Kenna's and I can't even imagine what my life would have been like without getting to watch her grow up from the moment she was born to now. You're definitely going to need some tissues unless you have a heart of stone. The only thing that I struggled with is that it was told by both Kenna and Ledger. Ledger was always in the present with some reflections but Kenna would go from present to past and sometimes I lost track of where I was in time.

4.5/5 Stars
