"Is that a fucking pigeon". Every time this quote came up in the book it just made me laugh so much I cried!!!

OH MY GOSH!!! This book was so heart wrenching!!!! Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover was beautifully written, but yet so heartbreaking. The amount of tissues I went through was unbelievable. Thank you Colleen for leaving me so empty, the amount of tears I shed was insane! I cried my eyes out like there was no tomorrow! Once I started this book I couldn't put it down. This will be a story that stays with me forever. I cried, I cheered for Kenna, I cheered for Ledger. I was one ugly sobbing mess. If you have never read a book by Colleen Hoover before, you will never know the pain that goes along with reading her books. My heart was broken, my eyes were red and puffy from crying while reading this amazing story. Colleen you owe me a couple boxes of tissues😭💔!!!

A troubled young mother yearns for a shot at redemption in this heartbreaking yet hopeful novel by Colleen Hoover. Kenna, Diem, and Ledger will be in my heart for a long time to come. I would love a sequel of this book as Diem's POV after meeting Kenna.

After serving five years in prison for a tragic mistake, Kenna Rowan returns to the town where it all went wrong, hoping to reunite with her four year old daughter, Diem. Kenna and her boyfriend Scotty were driving to the lake one night from a party when Kenna and Scotty were both too drunk and too high to drive. But Kenna chose to get behind the wheel anyways. Kenna and Scotty were on a deserted gravel country road when Kenna was speeding and lost control of their car and left Scotty to die. In the time Kenna was looking for help she didn't know Scotty was still alive until the next morning when the police showed up at her apartment and arrested her. At the time of Kenna's trial, she didn't know she was pregnant, otherwise she wouldn't have pleaded guilty. Diem was born a preemie and was handed into the arms of her grandparents, Scotty's family. Kenna lost anything to do with her daughter while she was serving her time, she couldn't even hold Diem the minute she was born.

But the bridges Kenna burned are proving impossible to rebuild. Everyone in her daughter's life is determined to shut Kenna out, no matter how hard she proves herself. The only person who hasn't closed the door on Kenna completely is Ledger Ward, a local bar owner and one of the few remaining links to Kenna's daughter. Ledger was Scotty were best friends but Kenna never met him before Scotty's death. 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. The two form a connection despite the pressure surrounding them, but as their romance grows, so does the risk. Kenna must find a way to absolve the mistakes of her past in order to build a future out of hope and healing. The letters Kenna wrote Scotty destroyed me😭💔!!!!
