Absolutely loved this book!! It really stresses the importance of having self love, forgiving yourself, and putting yourself first especially when life throws you curveballs. A must read ladies!!

Thanks to Forever for the free copy of this book.

 - THIS COULD BE US is another knockout from Kennedy Ryan. It’s her signature blend of drama, longing, and heat and I couldn’t put it down.
- I loved that Soledad was so focused on figuring out who she was separate from a man. Even when she had a perfect man waiting there for her, she still put herself first.
- I do think it could have been a little shorter (Ryan’s books are always tomes!) but there was so much going on in the story that I was willing to be there with them while they untangled everything.

I was so fortunate to grab this on NetGalley when it was offered as ‘read now’ for a limited time. 

I loved this book, I love Soledad and her determination and that she gets a second chance. 
 Kennedy’s writing is so moving, she treats all the characters with such care.  These are true love stories that happen in a full life which means the side character are also developed.
