This Used to Be Us by Renée Carlino

4.0

This Used to Be Us by Renee Carlino was an emotional and beautiful story. It did take me a while to get into the story but once I got into it, I was hooked and wanted to see what life had in store for Dani and Alex. This story was told in dual POV which was perfect for this book. It was important to be able to see the thoughts and feelings of each of the main characters. I like how music was such a big part of their story and how songs were attached to important memories. That made it feel so real, since we all have heard a song and it has taken us back to a specific moment in time. 

I think I may have had a hard time getting into the book because I couldn't relate to the characters and their marriage, but once I continued on I could relate to some of the emotions and vulnerabilities of the characters. 

Have the tissues ready and enjoy the emotional ride and beauty of this love story.
