Before I Let Go
by Kennedy Ryan
Yasmen and Josiah were supposed to be in love forever until tragedy after tragedy tore them apart. Two years after their divorce, Yasmen is finally finding her joy again and getting into a new rhythm with Josiah co-parenting their two children and coowning a business. Yet the ex-couple find themselves drawn back to each other and wondering if their split is the right call. Is the divorce a mistake or an inevitability? How can they believe their love will last the second time around?
LET GO is a raw, emotional, yet beautiful second-chance novel that delivers so much more than just the romance and tension between Yasmen and Josiah. It had me laughing, blushing, and sobbing. Going in, I was apprehensive because second-chance tropes aren't my favorite, but I am pleasantly surprised by and greatly appreciate the emotional depth Ryan put into the book.
LET GO contains many heartbreaking events where readers should check trigger warnings first. That said, Ryan tackles so many vital issues of loss, grief, and mental health that I believe everyone will benefit from this book. Especially on seeking professional help for one's mental health, LET GO does a beautiful job emphasizing the importance of men seeing therapists and showing their vulnerabilities.
Even if you're not a romance reader, I highly recommend LET GO. I was equally intrigued by how the characters process their traumas differently and grow as individuals, as well as the romance between Yasmen and Josiah. LET GO is a fantastic book written with care and empathy that everyone should read.
Thank you to Forever and NetGalley for the eARC.
