Reminders of Him
by Colleen Hoover
"Grudges are heavy, but for the people hurting the most, I suppose forgiveness is even heavier."
It seems that this book didn't work out for me and I really want to love this book as much as I love other Colleen Hoover's books. But, I don't find anything special in this one.
[b:Reminders of Him|58341222|Reminders of Him|Colleen Hoover|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1627673942l/58341222._SX50_.jpg|69199268] is about 26 years old woman named Kenna Rowan who's just got released from a 5-year prison sentence for the involuntary manslaughter of her boyfriend, Scotty Landry. She wants to meet her daughter, Diem but Scotty's parents got the full custody and they hate Kenna. With the help from Ledger Ward, Kenna does everything she can, hope Scotty's parents forgive me one way another.
I was trying not to put a high expectation on this one, but still... the title of this book gave me another expecations that this book will leave some scars or left me hurt or some shit. Whatever. But, well...[b:Reminders of Him|58341222|Reminders of Him|Colleen Hoover|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1627673942l/58341222._SX50_.jpg|69199268] didn't do that to me. I don't feel anything except the urge to finish and be done with it. Yes, Kenna Rowan is a typical strong woman, and the grief that she felt should make me cry or something, but no.
And the last 50-ish page I know this book will have an happy ending, good but still I don't feel anything for this book.

Overall, if you want to read some emotional books from Colleen Hoover with same plot/themes (mother-daughter related, or family related), read these instead:
