It Starts With Us by Colleen Hoover Narrated by Colin Donnell and Olivia Song “You can stop swimming now, Lily.

Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover Narrated by Brittany Pressley and Ryan West Standalone Romance/ Women’s Fiction. Colleen Hoover has been a favorite author of mine for 10 years now, so I am not a new fan who is taken by the hype and that doesn’t mean it’s an automatic 5-star read.
