Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover
3.0
3⭐️ Well, that was f*cking depressing until the last 20 pages.
Trigger Warning: death, grief, and depression
Wow, this story is terribly tragic and sad from the get-go. Kenna’s letters to Scotty absolutely gutted me. If anything, I wish I could have read more…or all 300 of them. Even though it’s heartbreaking, there are beautiful moments that stem from understanding and forgiveness. While I felt so much hurt reading this story, it was the good kind of ‘Colleen Hoover hurt’ that you know you’ll feel the moment you pick up one of her books.
The reasons why this didn’t get a higher rating from me are because...
1. The writing wasn’t as engaging as some other Coho books. Her writing is always great, but it was a bit slow this time. I did not care about the details she provided and just wanted to skip to the dialogue or next scene. Not sure why.
