Product Information

Romance Billionaire Romance Erotic Fantasy Vampires Science Fiction Thriller Horror Classics Suspense I loved her strength, she had zero money to her name but she didn't care, all she wanted was to see her baby that was ripped away from her arms. 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. People judged her for what happened that night, but she was distressed to the point where it lead her into pleading guilty because she felt like she needed to be punished for that accident, when in fact the truth is both Scotty AND Kenna were high/drunk and got in the car. Yes, one died, but both needed to be held just as accountable or just as innocent. With the Wrong Man lets you discover Hannah's gripping tale as her life unravels after a fateful mistake, and she faces the consequences of her actions. You'd think having read so many of Hoover's books, I would be better prepared. One, always have a box of tissues ready. Two, never read it in public. But I haven't learned my lesson. This time, I was in the doctor's office, sitting in the waiting room, when I got walloped with the feels. I tried to pass it off as allergies, but sobbing and allergies don't exactly look the same, you know? When women say they’ve been to prison, people think trash, whore, addict, thief. But when men say they’ve been to prison, people add badges of honor to the negative thoughts, like trash, but badass, addict, but tough, thief, but impressive."

i have never liked CoHo's writing. idk, it's just trying too hard to be poetic and deep without having this nice and flowy feel to it that actual good poetic prose has It's been just over five years since the night that changed everything for Kenna Rowan. An accidental tragedy at her hand sent her to prison where she gave birth to a baby girl Diem, never to be in her custody. Now that Kenna is released, she is determined to earn forgiveness and finally meet her four-year-old daughter, but they want nothing to do with her. She finds comfort and support from Ledger Ward, someone who she never thought would ever give her the light of day.The part she mentions the title of her books brings me so much relief everytime... because she had told the most parts of her stories by then and I can totally understand what she means each time. Colleen Hoover is best known for writing romance novels filled with genuine passion, deep love, and a familial feel with some glimpses of mature relationships. Ledger knows nothing about Kenna and her past life, not even knowing that she was his best friend Scotty’s wife.

Summary and Review: Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover - The

To be fair, however, Reminders of Him was not a perfect book. While Hoover explained the potential holes this story could have had, I still didn’t believe Kenna’s guilty plea and sentencing were likely to occur as they did. (I’m a former lawyer and, thus, especially critical here.) It’s also worth noting that, while Kenna’s character is rehabilitated, she still made big mistakes and is not the most likable protagonist (if that matters to you). Is Reminders of Him worth reading?It was nothing. She borrowed a table and some chairs. We were upstairs for three minutes.' 'I didn't say anything.' 'You didn't have to.' He releases an exasperated laugh. 'Shit man, I didn't peg you for the jealous type.' "

Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover | Waterstones

Roman - Ledger's best friend and one of the 3 side characters that were the stars of this book for me. We can call him a semi-grump, but can we all band together and think of ways to destroy cupcake shop girls' marriage so Roman can have her? I love a good unrequited/forbidden love. I loved the little bits of Roman we got, he was the only one who was understanding towards Kenna and didn't judge her for her mistakes. This man was delicious and he wasn't even the hero. Like a lot of Hoover’s books, even though I would definitely classify this as a romance, it wasn’t only a romance. There were so many other facets to this story. It was a story of family, forgiveness, grief, and love. It’s heartfelt, emotional, and truly unforgettable. Reminders of Him is a book that will be on my mind for some time, as well as my favorites list! I highly recommend this one! Reminders of Him is a tearjerker-y, melodramatic romance novel and a good one at that. It’s an uncomplicated and somewhat predictable story, and it’s not literary or even semi-literary, so anyone hoping for something like that should unequivocally skip it. Instead, it’s a book that does a good job of being the type of book that it’s trying to be. The scene is tense as Kenna's words hang in the air, awaiting a response from those who hold power to grant her the chance she so desperately seeks. Each character's reaction and subsequent actions contribute to the emotional weight of the scene.In Reminders of Him, Kenna Rowan is a 26-year-old woman who has recently been released from prison after causing the death of her boyfriend, Scotty, in a drunk driving accident five years earlier. this will be the last Colleen Hoover book i'll ever read (and i already didn't even want to read this one, i was asked to) Unfortunately, Reminders of Him simply didn’t resonate with me. I kind of feel like I read a different book than everyone else as I didn’t connect with the storyline or the characters. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes throughout and felt that the entire book was OTT. This is perhaps only the second book of COHO’s that I didn’t care for. It is what it is. Reminders of Him" by Colleen Hoover introduces a cast of compelling characters who navigate a poignant and hopeful narrative. Here are some of the main characters. I suppose the point of all this is to show that no matter how tiny the mistake you make, it can have insurmountable consequences. But it shouldn’t be the only thing that defines you for the rest of your life as long as the path to forgiveness and redemption is open and you’re willing to take the journey (which Kenna kinda did, but it was unconvincing?). 🏃‍♀️

REMINDERS OF HIM | Kirkus Reviews

There are so many sides to this story, so many different ways of looking at it. There's no real right or wrong, just lots of gray in the middle. It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of readers felt strongly that Kenna's situation is too harsh or too lenient. And I certainly wouldn't be surprised if those two groups ended up overlapping, with the same readers feeling both. This is exactly the sort of story that balances on an edge, tugging your heartstrings one way, then another. First of all, CoHo should’ve made this into a THRILLER cause I think the premise would make for a better romantic suspense than whatever this ended up being. Alas, this book showed that the Queen did indeed MISS once in a while. 🤷‍♀️ When I first read the premise, I was a little concerned that this book would be a bit of a downer, and I think it very easily could’ve become a semi-depressing story in the wrong hands. However, Hoover does a good job of managing the tone of the novel so that it feels emotional, but not too weighed down.
