A review by thebooksatchel
This Could Be Us by Kennedy Ryan

  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
This one's for those who love emotional love stories.
- The women are strong and independent and know how to survive against odds. It was very inspiring to read. And the way they find success seemed plausible. The women are powerful in this story.
- Soledad's husband is arrested on embezzlement charges. Her bank accounts are frozen and she has to care for her three children. The man who found out about her husband's fraud and reported it, Judah Cross, is a handsome, divorced father. He seems to grow a soft corner for Soledad.
- There's healthy co-parenting between Judas Cross and his ex-wife. They newly formed family really know how to make things work. Their twin sons who are autistic on different levels of the spectrum—Rep done well. There are also some passages on why a relationship might not work and how to move away in a healthy manner.
- Soledad is Afro-Latina. Rep done well.
- Judah and Soledad have good chemistry between them.

- The book starts off very intense and then mellows down. It is quite emotional.
- Kennedy Ryan explores so many other HEAVY themes, which kind of takes away from the romance. at the centre of the story. I would've loved to see more of how the relationship between Judah and Soledad developed. And I would've loved to see more of their chemistry.
