This book was amazing, the best second chance romance I've read. I highly recommend it!

Kennedy Ryan has written this book so beautifully. There was no toxic behavior, no miscommunication just love in it's different forms.

I know this isn't shocking information, but Kennedy Ryan is a Goddess. 

This book may be really difficult for people to read because of the traumas within the book, but gosh dang is it beautiful.

I am stunned and awed by this book. Kennedy Ryan has taken my heart in her hands, broken it, and then healed it.

I can hear Yasmen and Josiah’s voices so clearly in my head, feel everything that they felt. I have been in a somewhat similar situation to Yasmen (though it cannot compare to the enormity of Yasmen’s loss), and to be able to hear both her and Josiah’s sides was completely gut-wrenching while also incredibly healing. I considered possibilities about my former partner/relationship that I never have before. The demise of a relationship, the loss of trust, it has all been captured so realistically and with so much heart. I feel like I should be devastated, but I actually feel a sense of closure.

There are moments of beauty and tragedy within Before I Let Go that are then expertly juxtaposed with humour and hope. 10/10. A must read.
