"Are you gonna live in your sadness or are you gonna die in it?"
Maybe when I'm done sobbing I can properly review this book. I don't entirely know how Colleen Hoover continues to have me in a chokehold from start to finish. Reminders of Him is no exception. The way miss CoHo ends her novels with the title of the book & leaves my heart in pieces is B E Y O N D me. Such a freakin genius move!
"Grudges are heavy, but for people hurting the most, I suppose forgiveness is even heavier."
Can we also talk about all of the quotable lines in here?! I have so many highlights and annotations. The way her writing pulls on my heartstrings and weaves into my soul puts her on another level in my book.
The way this scene I quoted next freaking shattered me whole!!!
"Maybe it doesn't matter whether something is a coincidence or a sign. Maybe the best way to cope with the loss of the people we love is to find them in as many places and things we possibly can. And in the off chance that the people we lose are still somehow able to hear us, maybe we should never stop talking to them."
*continues to sob endlessly*
I don't believe I could possibly ever stop thinking of this book. I loved every character in here and I especially LOVE how this story ended. My heart soared for Kenna, Ledger, and Diem. Just wow. My eyes won't stop crying and my heart is forever changed by another soul wrecking, hope inspiring, lyrical novel by miss Colleen mf'n Hoover.
Excuse me Colleen, did you drop this crown??
