tHE ROMANCE REVIEWER
Reminders Of Him
Author: Colleen Hoover
Reading Reminders of Him feels like voluntarily stepping on an emotional LEGO (and I am not trying to sound sarcastic but seriously wtf). You open the book expecting classic Colleen Hoover heartbreak with trauma and more, five pages in, you’re already whispering “girl, what the hell did you do?” while simultaneously rooting for her like she’s your problematic bestie who is “just a girl”.
Kenna is fresh out of prison, trying to reconnect with her daughter that she never met and yet if that’s not a rom-com setup, I don’t know what is. Here Ledger enters, the grumpy but hot guardian who looks at Kenna like she just keyed his truck and stole his dog and by mistake ran over him, yet somehow the tension still crackles between them.
Look, there’s drama. There’s pain. There’s a kid. There’s a lot of “you can’t be here” and “but I have feelings!” The emotional whiplash is real, but so is the character growth. Guilty because I did roll my eyes, I got mad at fictional characters, and I teared up because I am a crybaby… and I loved every single bit of it.
Bottom line: it’s raw, it’s healing, and it somehow made me want to forgive people because life is too short seriously.
rate : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – a sad girl era, who slowly got her shit together
