You think you know how you’ll react in a terrifying situation, but that’s the thing. You can’t think in a terrifying situation."

Him Series — Elle Kennedy

Just don't forget my two tips if you're going to read this. And maybe I'll even remember them myself one day. But let's move on to Ledger who's "good looking in a way that a girl who is trying to get custody of her daughter should want to stay away from". A lot of words and I still don't know what he looks like. Oh wait, "he's got eyes that have seen a thing or two, and hands that have probably hit a man or two." So I'm guessing he looks like this??So this is a trope I think is becoming more and more popular in recent years. You've got the group of priveliged friends who come from money. You've got the one who's never fitted in. But it is easy for me to say the above because I had a clearer picture of what was happening and the characters necessarily didn't. Like a lot of Hoover’s books, even though I would definitely classify this as a romance, it wasn’t only a romance. There were so many other facets to this story. It was a story of family, forgiveness, grief, and love. It’s heartfelt, emotional, and truly unforgettable. Reminders of Him is a book that will be on my mind for some time, as well as my favorites list! I highly recommend this one!

I also have a problem with stories where everything has already happened in the past, all the characters know what's gone on and the only tension is the artificial one of withholding the past from us - too annoying. Hardly anything happens in the present storyline at all. Here we are following a story of a woman who is trying to make things work after being in jail for a crime she’s not wholly responsible of. 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.It’s definitely in my top books from CoHo. I’m a diehard AYP fan so I feel like that’ll always be number one but dare I say this makes second slot for my fave?

Theakstons proof 5 was this one and I loved it for its considered engaging characters, the beautifully done past/present vibe and it's strong emotional core. You'd think having read so many of Hoover's books, I would be better prepared. One, always have a box of tissues ready. Two, never read it in public. But I haven't learned my lesson. This time, I was in the doctor's office, sitting in the waiting room, when I got walloped with the feels. I tried to pass it off as allergies, but sobbing and allergies don't exactly look the same, you know?t Ledger also hate her for killing his best friend? he gets over that pretty fast and actually betrays the trust of the child's guardians by showing Kenna pictures of her child, which was totally not his place to do. he's known those people for his entire life, he practically co-raises that kid but throws it all away for a woman he barely knows and who killed his best friend? make it make any kind of sense I felt there was quite a bit of repetition in the book and in the end I was shouting ( in my mind ) ‘we know’ to Catherines protests of love For the majority of the book, I kept waiting for that one mindblowing twist that CoHo is known for, but the fact that THERE’S NOT ONE SINGLE PLOT TWIST (besides Ledger the BFF) is utterly disappointing, disappointingly underwhelming, and very unbecoming of CoHo. It was hard to comprehend and accept that the accident happened because Kenny was being careless and irresponsible. Even when she described it in detail near the end of the book, the logic was somewhat lost on me. 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.

Firstly this book took me 5 days to read ( inc weekend where I dont read as much mind you ) and thats the longest a book has taken me to read for months...however I did want to finish it and at no time, even when it frustrated me, did I contemplate not finishing it...this book had ‘something’.......Most of his personality was developed around him fighting the inner battle of believing whether Kenna is good or not. He was a nice enough hero, but there was nothing special or groundbreaking about him. I didn't believe in his love for Kenna, everything about their coupling felt forced and forged only by the bond they share through Diem and the loss of Scotty. This is a gripping read and I highly recommend it if you enjoy mystery thrillers with a love story at its heart. But her obsession with him and what life could have been like by his side continues through the years, through a marriage and the birth of her children. This is a love that can’t be forgotten or denied, but also one with devastating consequences. What exactly happened when Catherine met Lucian again four months ago? On her first night in the city, she goes to a bar, where she meets a very handsome bartender. Only later, as she is kissing him, does she realize that he's her dead boyfriend's best friend. When Kenna lost all hopes of ever having custody of her daughter she turns to her mother, who is so horrible I wanted to slap the bitch all the way to Australia. Her mother is so bitter and resentful that Kenna was ungrateful to her for saving her from foster care (and then still proceeding to emotionally abuse and neglect her daughter), she refuses to even apply for visitation rights or half custody of Diem so that Kenna would at least be able to see her daughter whilst in prison.
