Reminders of Him: A Novel

Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover - I’m not usually a CoHo fan, but Reminders of Him genuinely surprised me. I finished it in one day and was completely wrecked—yes, I cried. The story is raw, emotional, and deeply gripping from start to finish. THE PIGEONS!! The dual points of view made the heartbreak even more powerful, allowing me to feel both sides of the pain and loss. Kenna’s journey as a mother trying to reunite with her daughter after serving time in prison is heartbreaking yet hopeful. Her guilt and determination felt painfully real, and Ledger’s protectiveness added so much tension and emotional depth. The characters felt flawed and human, and the emotional weight of their struggles kept me turning pages. The plot had just the right balance of sadness and hope, and the ending wrapped everything up beautifully. Overall, this was a powerful, heartfelt, and unforgettable read—one I’d absolutely recommend to anyone who loves emotional, character-driven stories.

Reminders of Him completely wrecked me. I cried, I laughed, and at times I just had to sit with the emotions it stirred up because they felt so real and so earned. This book isn’t just a love story; it’s a story about grief, regret, forgiveness, and what it means to keep going when you’re carrying the weight of your worst mistake. Colleen Hoover writes with such emotional precision that it feels less like reading and more like experiencing someone’s life alongside them. The characters are deeply human, flawed, aching, hopeful, and their pain never feels exaggerated or performative. Every emotion lands because it’s honest. What moved me most was how the story balances heartbreak with moments of warmth and even humor. Just when the sadness felt overwhelming, there were scenes that made me smile or laugh through tears, reminding me why love and connection are still worth fighting for. This book stays with you. It lingers in the quiet moments after you’ve finished the last page. Reminders of Him is beautifully written, emotionally raw, and unforgettable… a reminder that healing is messy, love is complicated, and redemption, while never easy, is always worth reaching for.

I’m not usually a fan of CoHo, but this one was better than expected. The FMC’s logic annoyed me at times, but I really enjoyed the couple together. It had a good ending that wrapped everything up nicely. Tropes: Second Chance, Small Town

Well written book! It kept me interested throughout. Great lessons about life, forgiveness , heartbreak and love! The ending was a good one!

I picked up this book after seeing the trailer for the movie and thought it would be a good read. I’ve been in a book slump for some time and this pulled me out of it! I finished it in less than 2 days it just consumed it. It definitely made me cry a few times and the ending was perfect!

Great story! Cried and laughed so it was a good read. Another favorite of Colleen Hoover’s books. Stayed up all night reading, couldn’t put it down!

I enjoyed this novel. It’s beautifully written and very easy to follow. It made me cry and smile, smile and cry. I just randomly chose this book because I could listen to it while doing chores and it did not disappoint.

Super Cute book. Easy to read. Almost wish there was a little more “action”! Would recommend! 7/10! Carpe Diem! Loved!
