Moderate: Vomit and Child abuse

Minor: Kidnapping

One of the characters mentions a couple of times that Kenna’s daughter is kidnapped, and that’s why Kenna can’t see her, but this is not the case and Diem is safe the entire book, she’s frightened by a fight Ledger and Patrick have and begins to cry, but she’s not hurt or mistreated in any way.

Possible trigger warnings for this book : suicidal thoughts, detailed scenes of a car accident, grief of losing a loved one, child neglect, parent incarceration. 

This book was so sad at several points but honestly such a good read. I want to start by saying I went through a million and one emotions during this book and that’s how I know Colleen Hoover’s writing is phenomenal! I began this book hating Kenna. And I was so angry at her but I wanted to like her. As the book went on, I realized that Kenna was actually such an incredible character. She was so mature in so many ways. And I am ended the book loving her and was so happy she got a happy ending. Ledger was amazing and perfect for Kenna. I loved him. I am also so happy she was allowed in Diem’s life in the end. Diem deserves a mother who loves her and only wants the best for her in her life. And after everything she’s been through, Kenna deserves to be able to spend time with her daughter. The amount of character development in this book was crazy. I loved every single character of this book, including the small ones. I feel like nothing I say could do this book enough justice. If you had any doubt about reading Reminders of Him and are reading this review (even though I gave spoilers) READ it! Ps. Is that a fucking pigeon?!
