This Could Be Us by Kennedy Ryan

I’d give this book ten stars if I could!

This Could Be Us is a stunning story of rediscovery and love in all its forms. The connection between Soledad and Judah was so devastatingly beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes. And the autism rep was so important. As a mother of an autistic child, I felt so connected to Judah’s sons and saw so many similarities. Their stories were told so well. This was absolute perfection!!

Judah and Soledad deserve the world and Edward…….don’t let me catch you!

Wow, Kennedy Ryan does it again.

This is a a dual POV story of a woman who has sacrificed for her family to ensure the success of her family, just to be undermined and belittled by her husband and a divorced man who has dedicated his life to work and successfully coparenting autistic teen twin boys with his ex-wife/friend.

The representation in this book is *chefs kiss*
Judah is double *chefs kiss* and then some

Things I loved: 
- Again, the representation (POC/afro-latinas, ASD, bad ass single mom, LGBTQIA)
- Learning to self-love
- Building a career in your 30’s
- JUDAH CROSS
- everything

This is my second Kennedy Ryan book and can I say she did not disappoint. This books makes you laugh, pause, reread, and also do some introspection. You are going on a journey of healing and building. You can never go with only of her books. I also love the add of the receipes at the end of the book

I also wish that the girls got to confront Edward and he was really trash like he had a baby on their momma and then fled the country. Lupe was my favorite how she stood 10 toes down for her mother no matter what. She understood and I love the development of Inez although Lupe threatened her on several occasions.
