Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover
5.0

Well this was a heartbreaking story written with brilliance!

It made me wonder if things should have been handled differently, if some decisions are unfair, if fate is cruel …

And here lies the author’s talent, exposing in depth a complicated story with many angles, and making us feel with every person involved in the tragedy.

My heart ached for Kenna, this young mother who endured a lot and only hoped to be with her daughter again … and I loved that Ledger had a key role in piecing back her life together.

I believe that this story goes way beyond romance; it tackles some heavy topics such as the loss of a loved one or a child, grief, motherhood, parenthood, friendship, hope and forgiveness.

And that’s what I mostly loved about it: of course I cared about the romance but the story development was the core of it all, more than the ending …

Oh and I sobbed … like I haven’t sobbed in a long time! But my heart was full at the end and I kept hugging my book for a while :)
