The Reminders by Val Emmich

Lynnie

contemporary fiction

The Reminders tells the story of TV star Gavin, whose husband, Sydney, dies suddenly.  Needing to escape from his own memories, Gavin visits long-time friends where he finds an unusual friendship with their daughter Joan, a 10-year old girl with HSAM who has her own vivid memories of Sydney. 

Emmich has created an utterly charming book. I read it over the course of 2 flights so, clearly, it’s a quick and easy read. The characters consistently made me smile and I truly loved the relationships between all of them. A great book for when you want to read something fun without working too hard to embrace the story. Is it cheesy? Absolutely. But that’s part of why it was so wonderful.

I recommend it whole-heartedly.
