Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan
5.0
I LOVED THIS BOOK. I purchased this book to see what the hype was about (I had FOMO) and it did not disappoint - believe the hype.
This is a DEEP and impactful story. The chapters are in first person and alternate between Josiah and Yasmen who are divorced, co-parenting and running a business together. Their emotions are raw and transparent as we learn why they divorced and how their divorce and grief has affected one another and their children.
I am not usually a romance fan, however I was blown away by this second chance romance with real life challenges. Kennedy’s writing is just stunning. At first I wanted to know more about Yasmen & Josiah’s past, however that became irrelevant as this was a story solely focusing on their present and their future with the possibility of another chance at love.
I love how Kennedy wrote Aunt Byrd’s character. Even though she had sadly passed, her memories were kept alive by all characters, she had a strong presence in the book for someone who didn’t ‘exist’.
I also loved how therapy is presented in an inspirational and positive light, as we see the benefits of therapy sessions for some of the characters.
