About this deal

Kenna - There's a thing between me and CoHo heroines where I don't particularly like them that much, I only feel for them through their situations rather than their personalities (except for miss verity, she is and will always be an icon, a legend, and the moment evil villain or not). Idk what to think of the romance. I think it was poorly written. Kenna and Ledger didn’t fall in love under the best of circumstances, but I’m afraid Ledger might just be a consolation prize for Kenna. I’m not sure if Kenna was over her grief and already moved on from her dead boyfriend. Also, the fact that she still wrote him letters, I don’t know what to make of that. I loved that we saw glimpses of their relationship from those letters. At the same time, it only emphasized how much she loved him. Edit: I am laughing at the amount of likes I am getting. The book was so bad and nothing but a hallmark plot line. Everything was just so basic and bland to me. It was boring. I do believe coho relies heavily on her “heartbreaking” elements to make people cry. I didn’t shed a single tear in this book, not even in her other books😂.

To be fair, however, Reminders of Him was not a perfect book. While Hoover explained the potential holes this story could have had, I still didn’t believe Kenna’s guilty plea and sentencing were likely to occur as they did. (I’m a former lawyer and, thus, especially critical here.) It’s also worth noting that, while Kenna’s character is rehabilitated, she still made big mistakes and is not the most likable protagonist (if that matters to you). Is Reminders of Him worth reading? The part she mentions the title of her books brings me so much relief everytime... because she had told the most parts of her stories by then and I can totally understand what she means each time. Diem - unfortunate name aside (I got the sentiment from Kenna but really girl??? if she gets bullied, at least I know my girl will be able to defend herself) she was a queen. authors who write funny children have my heart and Diem was the funniest and sweetest girl. I want whatever Diem is eating.Hopefully one day I find out. Almost one out of every two couples divorce,” he says, his voice hopeful.

it has absolutely zero relevance to the plot. it's barely a scene, but people say to start criticism with something positive, so here you go. Now, we have Kenna walking into the bar who is so naturally stunning and pretty, the second Ledger lays his eyes on her he "overfill[s] the glasses and water goes everywhere". Listen, love-at-first-sight might be some people's favourite trope but it sure as hell isn't mine. Reading that gave me second-hand embarrassment. Where is the build-up? The romantic tension? You want me to root for these two dumb-asses but then give me nothing to root for because they're in love the second they meet?? i hope those two have fun but i'm outta here. dnf 50% in. thank you for everyone who encouraged me to do this: i love you. everyone who wanted me to finish: i have nothing to say to you. Reminders of Him is a tearjerker-y, melodramatic romance novel and a good one at that. It’s an uncomplicated and somewhat predictable story, and it’s not literary or even semi-literary, so anyone hoping for something like that should unequivocally skip it. Instead, it’s a book that does a good job of being the type of book that it’s trying to be. Ledger meets Kenna and he doesn’t know who she is at first. He’s drawn to her. It’s almost magnetic. Once he finds out who she is he struggles with how he should feel about her. Ledger was the perfect hero, and one of this authors best characters. Kenna was also great and getting to know her through her letters to Scotty made me love her even more.Do biological parents deserve the right to be in their childrens' lives? Probably not, depending on the circumstances, but the way they treated her at points was just ridiculous. With a friend he has lost and busy running a bar, he wouldn’t let the one who has ruined his friend’s family to interfere with his life. I mean- imagine how traumatic it would be if you accidentally killed the love of your life, and the only thing he left you with was immediately taken away from you as soon as it came into existence?? That is freaking devastating. The only person who hasn’t closed the door on her completely is Ledger Ward, a local bar owner and one of the few remaining links to Kenna’s daughter. But if anyone were to discover how Ledger is slowly becoming an important part of Kenna’s life, both would risk losing the trust of everyone important to them.

Lady Diana aka Lucy - Is Lady Diana my favorite CoHo character ever? yes. as she deserves. LD lives in Kenna's apartment complex, works at the same grocery store as Kenna, befriends her as her first friend, and has Down's Syndrome. I love how welcoming and protective of Kenna she is, so much so she calls Ledger a jerk after he makes her cry. Look at this iconic behavior, your favs could NEVER:

I say this because there was no chemistry between them. It was just lust from day one. Too insta love for me. They didn't even know each other. But, this doesn’t stop Ledger from getting to know Kenna and, while he’s still conflicted, he begins to understand there may be more lurking beneath the surface about Kenna that the town doesn’t see. He also reveals that he had been engaged, but his ex didn’t like his involvement in Diem’s life. It’s hard to deny that Ledger and Kenna are now intimately connected in more ways than one, and their relationship deepens.
