Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan
3.0

Overall, Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan was a so-so book for me. I didn't despise it, but I'm not sure it's going to stay with me for very long outside of this review. 

You'll follow one couple that's been through a pretty rough patch which ultimately ended in divorce. Through a series of events, can they get back to where they use to be? If you're a fan of second-chance romance, then I really think you'll enjoy this book.

One aspect of this book that I really enjoyed where the discussions around therapy and mental health. It doesn't treat it as taboo, and actually encourages it as a family - especially for men!  Something that people don't feel comfortable discussing was brought up in a really positive way and I feel that was crucial in the plot for the book. I also like the discussion around ***TW*** miscarriage. So many women experience this and I think it's important to have those hard conversations surrounding it. 

Now on to something I disliked...While I understand that the point of the book was likely for the main characters to get back together; I feel that the *spicy* scenes were just too much and unnecessary. I'm no prude and I don't mind sex in a story. But multiple orgasms in one chapter and three on one page in 4 paragraphs is just too much in my opinion. It didn't add anything to the story. #sorrynotsorry

With that being said, I really like the characters and felt like I could relate to them so I will likely continue in the series when they're released. Just not a book that I'm screaming from the rooftops about.
