Colleen Hoover is a QUEEN and one of my all-time favorite authors. I was so excited for Reminders of Him, one of her adult romances!! Be warned; this one will rip your heart up and put it back together again. It was the last book that made me cry and was one of the favorites I read last year. I snuck in pages of this during my Bachelorette Party, it was THAT GOOD!! (perks of ebooks!)
Kenna Rowan returns to a town where everyone hates her. Fresh out of a 5-year prison sentence, she's determined to find her 4-year-old daughter, Diem, and be a part of her life. Did I mention that Diem is the cutest kid ever whose favorite movie is The Greatest Showman (bonus points!)
The only person in town who doesn't hate Kenna is local bar owner Ledger Ward, and as they grow closer, the chances of Kenna ever having Diem in her life drift farther and farther apart. They're both connected by an unimaginable tragedy, and it's going to take so much courage and forgiveness that they may not have to move past.
"People say you fall in love, but fall is such a sad word when you think about it. Falls are never good. You fall on the ground, you fall behind, you fall to your death. Whoever was the first person to say they fell in love must have already fallen out of it. Otherwise, they'd have called it something much better."
