I'm just going to start off with,Kennedy Ryan, you did the damn thing! I was first drawn to this book from the cover and requested an ARC from Grand Central Publishing ! When I received it, I dove in! 

Before I Let Go is raw and pure emotion of two people who said they were in this thing called life until the wheels fell off only to be tested with this thing called life that can bring the darkest grief. Grief is an emotion that some can handle and some can't. We choose how we deal with grief and sometimes we make a decision that we think is best in our darkest moments of grief. These decisions can affect marriages, families, and friendships. I felt every bit of Yasmen and Josiah's emotions from grief, confusion, the fight for what you want, and the uncomfortable emotion of kind co-parenting. 

Before I Let Go is beautiful and breathtaking! This one needs to be at the top of everyone's book club! Actually, this one needs to be on the screen, whether big or small. Kennedy Ryan has kept this one for bundled away for a while and I always believe things happen for a reason! 

I am beyond thankful to Grand Central Publishing and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
