Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover
5.0
How is this only my third CoHo book?!
I’m at a loss as to how I can do this book any justice at all because it’s so worthy of all the hype it’s had previously.
I don’t know how CoHo does it, but she really sets the emotions off with her incredible words. I think I got to chapter 15 and I’d put the book down to put my youngest daughter to sleep for the night but I found myself going over and over what I’d read in my mind, it was so vivid, I could picture it all and I then felt every emotion from all the characters. I just sat and stared at the book and just cried. It was at this point my dad texted me and that made me cry even harder.
I think the two characters I was most drawn to were Kenna and Ledger. I really felt it with them two. I mostly think that was the connection they both shared with Scotty and Diem. I felt the frustration, the sadness, the anger, just everything. You feel it all.
Kenna was by far the strongest character I felt, having served her time but also through the letters we start to see and understand her decisions from that night which ultimately changed the lives of all the characters. It also gave me perspective into both sides of the story and just how much of it was left unsaid.
I questioned myself, what would I do in the same situation?
And, that is why this book needs to be read by everyone. It’s heartbreaking, passionate, caring, heartwarming and a emotional rollercoaster.
Please, please. JUST READ IT.
