Colleen Hoover Novel ‘Reminders of Him’ Sets Movie Adaptation at Universal for Valentine’s Day 2026


Colleen Hoover's novel 'Reminders of Him' will be getting a film adaptation at Universal for a Valentine's Day 2026 release.

Described as a “transformative feature film about motherhood, forgiveness and the power of one love to heal even the most shattered heart,” the story follows Kenna Rowan, who returns to her hometown after serving five years in prison for a tragic mistake. “I hear from many readers who tell me they found something of themselves in her story of living with and through tragedy and doing the often messy and imperfect work of healing and turning the page to a fresh chapter in life. A sequel should be inevitable since Hoover already wrote a bestselling follow-up novel called “It Starts With Us.” Yet it’s safe to assume that audiences have seen the last of Lily and Ryle — the two characters portrayed by Lively and Baldoni in the film — amid reports the star and director didn’t get along on set and would likely not work together again.
