Two people,  two years out from their divorce have to admit to themselves and to each other the toughest truth of all, but will they? Yasmin and Josiah are partners in a thriving restaurant and co-parenting  Deja and Kassim. They are both still getting over the losses that caused the divorce and almost lost them Yasmin’s life and their business. Yasmin and Josiah both are making an effort to move on in their own way. This was a beautiful mature love story that really shows misperceptions of mental illness and therapy. It shines a light on the benefits of therapy for anyone with a need, breaking down old stereotypes. You get both characters voices so that you see them from both sides. Before I Let Go, made me giggle and definitely had me bawling my eyes out.
