Reminders of Him
by Colleen Hoover
emotional
hopeful
reflective
medium-paced
I enjoyed this book and didn't at the same time. I had a lot of mixed feelings about this book. I feel like colleen has a tendency to make all her characters like characters you don't want to root for.
I loved Kenna, I thought she was such a good character with a lot of depth and an interesting story to tell. She was everything I wish my own mother was. She cares so much about getting her daughter back. It made me so upset how she wasn't able to see her daughter, everyone took her at her worse moment in life and judged her for it.
I thought the romance was a little weird... Like I felt like I wasn't really rooting for them. Obviously, the fact that Ledger hated Kenna but didn't really know her was realistic. I don't believe in love at first sight. Personally, I felt like the romance was rushed and all came too fast for a sensitive topic like this.
Ledger made me mad, but I also couldn't hate him. He took care of Deim when Kenna couldn't, that made me like him. I felt like other than the fact he was taking care of Deim he was pretty self-absorbed. I felt like he had no idea what he wanted, and he was way to confused the whole book. I don't know I hated him and loved him at the same time.
I have mixed feelings about the accident. I liked how it went into detail about the accident. I hate when book promote, or really even talk about driving under the influence. It shines a light on driving under the influence, a light that by no means should be shined. We can all sit here and say what we would have done differently, but we will never truly know unless it is us. I felt like the accident was just how I expected it to go which was good for this book.
Like the rest of the book, I had mixed feelings about the ending.We all knew they were going to get together but like naming your kid after your death best friend/ ex-boyfriend is a little weird....
