BOOK REVIEW: Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover
NISRINA ISNAWATI (30802300024)
Figure. 1
“and sometimes we do
things for people we love, even though we wouldn’t choose to do those things
for ourselves.”-kenna.
“Reminders of Him” is one of Colleen Hoover's
books that really stirs up our emotions, filled with pain, but also with hope.
The novel tells the story of Kenna, a woman who has just been released from
prison after serving five years for a terrible accident that killed her
boyfriend, Scotty. Upon her release, Kenna's only dream is to meet her
daughter, Diem, who was born while she was in prison and is now being raised by
Scotty's parents.
Here, Hoover really takes us into Kenna's chaotic
mind, filled with her lingering guilt, her longing to be a mother, and her
heartbreaking loneliness. Through the letters she wrote to Scotty, we can feel
the depression that surrounds Kenna, and how deep her loss and regret are.
In terms of plot, Hoover presents the story from
two perspectives, those of Kenna and Ledger (Scotty's best friend), allowing us
to understand the conflict from both sides. The main themes are redemption,
mistakes, second chances, and the courage to face other people's judgments.
This book contains many painful yet beautiful quotes that may
drain the reader emotionally. In my opinion, the novel's weakness is that the
plot is slow because it tends to focus more on the characters' emotional
wounds, and the themes of family and forgiveness feel very heavy to read.
