It proves that time, distance, and devestation allow people enough opportunity to craft villians out of people they don't even know. But she was never a villain. She was a victim. We all were.

This is the second book that I have read by CoHo and everybody has raved about her for years. Up until now none of her book's blurbs have actually interested me. The horror you're all probably reading. I always figure it was all YA. Not my cuppa.

But then I read the blurb of Reminders of him and I was so intrigued I had to read it. And it blew me away! So much so that I also bawled my frigging eyes out from nearly start to finish.

CoHo herself wrote that although over the years her aim was to write romantic comedy it just never turned out that way. The characters did what they wanted to and IMO if it works then there is no need to fix it.

Our heroine made a mistake, a mistake that impacted the lives of everyone around her. But when is the time to let go? To not base one's opinion on completely on one awful choice that was made. It is something that she will need to live with for the rest of her life but the one thing after paying for the consequences of her actions that she wants and that is to be meet her daughter.

I frigging adore the heroine after everything that has happened, she has always tried to make the best out of the situation but there comes a point where is only so much one can take and she has hit her limit. But then she finds support in the most unlikely place.

So, this is where things got iffy for a while and as I enjoyed this book so much, I'm just going to ignore it. The trope won't be for everyone which is dead husband/boyfriend, add in that the new love interest is the best friend but through circumstances they never met. As I wrote. Iffy.

The Hero's straight off infatuation and insta-whatever with the heroine was off putting. It was too full on and somewhat creepy. Once that was toned down it got better for me. I love the Hero and I especially love the Hero's interaction with Diem. Sooo frigging adorable. ...more
