"Grudges are heavy, but for the people hurting the most, I suppose forgiveness is even heavier."
It's no secret that I have a love/hate relationship with her books, but when I do enjoy a story I end up giving it a very high rating most of the time. This story is without doubt one of them. Colleen Hoover is the queen of writing flawed and realistic characters in impossible situations, and this is exactly what Reminders Of Him offers. I was hooked as soon as I read the first chapter, and I couldn't stop turning those pages. The dilemma in this story is such a difficult one; you can understand both sides of the story, and finding a solution that will make everyone happy seems impossible. I enjoyed watching the bond between Kenna and Ledger grow, and the character development is spot on. The forbidden love trope is also very well done! I could also really appreciate what Kenna's letters to Scotty added to the plot; it gave the story more dept without slowing down the pace itself. It was so easy to become fully invested in the outcome of this story, and boy did Colleen Hoover toy with my emotions during the journey! I hardly ever cry while reading a book, but I couldn't keep it dry this time. Make sure to have tissues at hand, because it's a true tearjerker indeed. I confess that I did skim over the sexy scenes, which were too much for me, but I loved the rest of the story too much to be truly bothered by them. I guess that's another CoHo book to be added to my list of all time favorites!

Like I said, this is the last book I'll be reading by Colleen Hoover. Too much forced sex, not enough time on the plot of the book that is actually very good. I don't want to be distracted by gagging about the sex scenes that felt forced, and the disgusting thoughts that the men always have in CoHo's books. (Seriously, November 9 had the same problem with just the perverted thoughts that Ben had about Fallon. Gross.)
Read this book if you are okay with random sex scenes in the middle of the interesting plot.
