It was really refreshing to see that this author is capable of writing something other than two toxic people with questionable pasts staring at each other for 300 pages. This was the first of her books I've read that felt like it actually had depth and a story I could get into for more than a few minutes, and I was honestly really impressed. I hope it wasn't a fluke and that she continues with this stronger, more interesting storytelling.

I rated this book an 7.5 out of 10. This emotional story hits close to home in multiple ways. It's easy to put yourself into each character's shoes and understand their individual point of views. I feel the story would've been more enjoyable without the romance.

This was a quick read for me, and I have some mixed feelings. I really enjoyed the story of Kenna and her journey to get her daughter back. She had everything going against her, but she knew that her daughter was the entire world and wanted to be a positive addition to her life. I wish the focus of the book was more on Kenna than anything else.

I felt there were additions to the story that I couldn't care less about. The shmexy scenes were toned down slightly, but I could've done without them in general. I didn't want a relationship. I also felt this was a typical romcom... nothing new. It accomplished the goal of getting people emotional, but the story is the same.

I listened to Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover on Audible and honestly, it was okay but it wasn’t my favourite. It was an easy story to listen to while I was going on a walk or cleaning which I appreciated about it. The story was really simple, it was cliche and very predictable. There was a lot of “coincidences” that made the storyline very convenient. It was somewhat stereotypical with the female and male roles represented in the book and the narration. Kenna was quiet, soft spoken, small, needed help from male character. Ledger was manly, low raspy voice, saviour of the damsel in destress. It’s not a bad thing but it was what made the story very cliche. If this is the sort of story you’ll enjoy, go for it. I just won’t be listening to it again.
