Reminders of Him: A Novel

Product Information

Since this is a Colleen Hoover book, I was expecting something shocking or some sort of twist somewhere throughout the book, but nothing like that happened. it's always so obvious and fake deep and the deep conversations she's trying to have aren't even done right and she somehow always manages to romanticize or excuse fucked up behaviour that should neither be romanticized nor excused.

She got a job working minimum wage as a grocery bagging assistant, she worked extra hours for Ledger at his bar as a dishwasher all so she could prove her worth to the Landry's and be able to see her daughter Diem. She goes in for coffee and is momentarily intrigued by the attractive bartender who turns out to be the owner, Ledger Ward, a former professional football player and one of Scotty’s closest friends. Anyway, Kenna rightly decides that "talking will only get [her] into trouble" but what does she do instead?As an independent American author from Texas, Colleen Hoover came to writing as a hobby, but still something she felt compelled to do. happiness isn’t some permanent thing we’re all trying to achieve in life, it’s merely a thing that shows up every now and then, sometimes in tiny doses that are just substantial enough to keep us going. The storm aside, this was a complete and happy ending and the epilogue had tears streaming from my eyes in stinging happiness.

The two form a connection despite the pressure surrounding them, but as their romance grows, so does the risk. Colleen did a great job in making us feel every bit of Kenna's pain and root for her reunion with Diem which should have been epic and heartfelt. In the sequel to her enormously popular bestseller Slammed, Colleen Hoover continues the story of Layken and Will and their passionate connection. And perhaps, the plot twist would be her dead boyfriend being the driver/the one at fault; hence, Kenna was falsely accused, but she accepted her sentence cause she felt guilty.Ledger, on the other hand, who just met this woman, who's known her for all but 20 minutes, is sure that Kenna's face is "a work of art" and god, how he wishes "there was a picture of it hanging on a wall in a museum somewhere so [he] could stand in front of it and stare at it for as long as [he] wanted. I tend to think this particular novel will remain one of the more beloved ones in Hoover’s catalog of bestsellers since it really has a bit of everything her fans love most.
