TACKLING THE EMOTIONAL JOURNEY OF 'REMINDERS OF HIM'
The Freeman
|March 01, 2026
A powerful story can only translate to the big screen well with the perfect cast.
-
Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers were personally chosen by author Colleen Hoover to play the main characters, Kenna Rowan and Ledger Ward, in "Reminders of Him." The adaptation of her hit novel of the same name also stars Rudy Pankow, Lainey Wilson, Lauren Graham, and Bradley Whitford.
"Reminders of Him" tells the story of Kenna Rowan, who returns to her hometown after a life-altering crash that sends her to prison for seven years. Kenna hopes to rebuild her life and get a chance to see her daughter, Diem, who she has never met before. Diem's custodial grandparents bar Kenna's attempts at contacting her daughter, but she finds unexpected compassion in local bar owner Ledger. A story of heartbreak, love, and second chances unfold.
The weight of Kenna's journey falls squarely on the shoulders of Maika Monroe (Longlegs, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle). Hoover loves the restraint and precision Monroe brings to the role.
This story is from the March 01, 2026 edition of The Freeman.
