Oh my…fellow bookish peeps…THIS BOOK…it literally just like, ripped my heart out, stomped on it, then picked up the delicate pieces and stitched it back together and then it only became stronger after all that. I loved Soledad and Judah’s journeys both separate and together. I loved their love story. Now, there are some elements where I was like okay, I don’t happen to agree with that, but overall, the story just pulled me in, kept me hooked from beginning to end. Kennedy Ryan’s treatment of certain heavy issues was tender and full of grace which I appreciated very much, even though the situation with Edward and Edward’s character were at certain points a little too overdone. No subtlety, little finesse, only because of the main plot, which was the love story but I do think that Edward could have been a bit more developed. Overall, This Could Be Us is bingeable and full of heart and soul.
