Trigger Warning
I have not cried while reading a book in a long time but Fast took me there. This book will tear you apart only to put you back together. I’m a little sad I’m done with it already.

This Could Be Us by Kennedy Ryan
5.0
*Review based on ARC*
This Could Be Us is yet another beautifully written novel by Kennedy Ryan that explores the complexities of love, loss, and second chances. The story follows the lives of Soledad and Judah, who meet under unusual circumstances. Soledad is faced with the daunting task of dealing with the aftermath of her husband's misdeeds and finding a way to support her three daughters after being a stay-at-home mom and wife for so long. To make matters more complicated, she finds herself developing feelings for Judah Cross, the same man who uncovered her husband's wrongdoing at their company.
Judah is divorced but co-parents his twin sons with his ex-wife and her husband. He is very involved with his twin sons, who both have different levels of autism. His focus has been his sons and his job until he meets Soledad, who he becomes hooked on from the first sight.
This Could Be Us is the perfect sequel to Before I Let Go. The bond between Soledad and her sisters, as well as her best friends, is enjoyable to read. The story highlights real-world issues such as Soledad's challenges with parenting after her husband leaves, her longing for her mother who passed away from cancer, and Judah's struggles to navigate his sons' autism. Kennedy did an outstanding job of bringing these issues to life and describing the emotional impact of these situations, while also providing insights on how to overcome them. I loved that Soledad was not only able find herself but also love again. My girl bossed all the way up! This book is most definitely a must read. It is set to release March 5, 2024.
Happy Reading

It’s a yes for me! I’ll get to my review but there are so many parts of the book that spoke to me. Loved it.
