A review by jumbledjess
This Could Be Us by Kennedy Ryan

emotional funny hopeful inspiring medium-paced

4.5

This is now a Soledad Charles stan account - no slander will be accepted here because she is the moment. This is my first Kennedy Ryan book (oops that this is the second in the series but thank god it’s still a stand alone) but I’m now a fan because this book HIT. For me, this was more than your regular romance novel. It’s about loving yourself first, loving the person that you are, and the vulnerability that comes with sharing your love with others. Soledad’s journey of self love feels so real and you can’t help but cheer her on along the way. Judah is a dream of a man and a doting father, but Soledad has my whole heart. The depiction of healthy coparenting and autism representation was also so beautiful to see (the author’s comment at the beginning🥹). While not really a typical slow burn, the romance in it kind of is but plenty happens throughout to keep you hooked. 

Also, there are recipes in the back of this book and I absolutely LOVE that detail. I’ll definitely be giving a few of them a try. 

Thank you Kennedy Ryan, Forever Books, and NetGalley for an eARC of this book.
