Reminders of Him: A Novel

Product Information

The male protagonist is sort of a generic romantic protagonist, but I liked that the main character of Kenna had a nice sense of personality which helped me to appreciate and root for their relationship. Kenna is described as someone with a unfortunate childhood, resulting in being someone in her younger years who wasn’t really “put together”, dressed somewhat provocatively and wasn’t the type of person parents wanted their son to bring home. I liked her imperfections, and it made the story feel a little more real to me. Some Criticisms Also, we learn that Ledger was engaged but broke up because his bride didn’t like Ledger’s extreme involvement in Egg’s life. I knew I would love it as soon as I read the synopsis, but I was not ready to be bombarded with these intense emotions. And it's interesting to see how these complicated feelings were expressed by all parties involved in this story. All were valid. And it makes you think what your own reaction would've been like. As Kenna relentlessly fights to rebuild her life and regain custody of her daughter, she faces numerous obstacles and closed doors. However, her determination remains unwavering. In a heart-wrenching and powerful scene, Kenna gathers the strength to confront the people actively keeping her away from her child. 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??

Book Excerpt

Roman - Ledger's best friend and one of the 3 side characters that were the stars of this book for me. We can call him a semi-grump, but can we all band together and think of ways to destroy cupcake shop girls' marriage so Roman can have her? I love a good unrequited/forbidden love. I loved the little bits of Roman we got, he was the only one who was understanding towards Kenna and didn't judge her for her mistakes. This man was delicious and he wasn't even the hero. I couldn't help but root for Kenna—no matter the circumstance, I feel a mother should have the right to have a relationship with their child or at least know them. I couldn't help my anger and frustration over her being closed off and pushed away without any chance at redemption or chance at showing her true character. Accidents happen, and based on the evidence, things were not looking great for Kenna, however, everyone deserves that opportunity. The storm aside, this was a complete and happy ending and the epilogue had tears streaming from my eyes in stinging happiness. Kenna was so deserving of the life she ended up with and everyone could finally be at peace. "Hi Scotty" <3 There was before you and there was during you. For some reason, I never thought there would be an after you.” As Kenna bares her soul and reveals her transformation and growth, the readers are captivated by the depth of her character and the power of her determination. This pivotal moment showcases Kenna's personal journey and sheds light on the complexities of forgiveness, trust, and the impact of one's past actions on their present circumstances.
