Before I Let Go - (Skyland) by Kennedy Ryan (Paperback)

This was a blind book purchase I made while out shopping without anything specific in mind. Had never heard of the author. With that being said, I loved this book. And I look forward to revisiting the read again once enough time passes. I loved the story, I loved the writing. I loved the rawness of it and the fact that the story felt real. Not just some concocted daydream fairytale to submerge in, but real life type ish.

Great Read! I Loved this Book Kennedy Ryan did her thing on this book!

This is a very good book. I recommend reading it! Wasn’t sure what to expect but it was a great read!

This was a great story about Yasmen & Josiah, a married couple that was supposed to be together forever, until the wheels fell off. But then life happens & they are forced to face challenges they were never prepared for. Mental health struggles & grief becomes a huge part of their story. It was a very real & raw feeling story. Therapy plays a HUGE roll in this story, & I really liked how the author really normalized going to therapy. There is such a stigma around therapy & asking for help, especially for males. I really felt for both Yasmen & Josiah. Especially Yasmen, from a fellow mother’s POV. As Mom’s, sometimes we are made to feel like we’re meant to have all the answers & never make mistakes, especially in front of our kids. But I think it’s so great when parents take accountability for their mistakes in front of their kids, apologizing, shedding tears & showing emotion- to normalize that even as adults & parents, we aren’t perfect & that’s okay. I loved seeing the growth of Yasmen’s relationship with her teenage daughter once she opened up to her about her mental health struggles more. P.S Yasmen & Josiah’s spicy scenes…oofta! Loved the author’s writing, it all just flowed really well!

Absolutely loved this book! It definitely tells the store of finding love again after turmoil and loss. I’m already reading the next installment in the series

Great read highly recommend it

This was such a good read. The characters struggle of loving others while losing self in depression, so powerful. Seeing the character come out on the other end of the struggle better than before matched with hot steamy love. This book is a YASSSS for me. I just finished This Could Be Us, can’t wait for the next book

What a beautiful love story. Josiah will always be my book husband. Cheers to black love! Prefect romance novel.

The two main characters are stupid and you read each chapter thinking who’s actually more stupid? I started off liking it but after a couple of chapters the stupid sets in and doesn’t leave the book til it’s over. I finished it bc I made a point to myself to read more. The author has another book about the wife’s friend. But there should really be a book about the cook.

LOVED! Great story, deep content. A story of healing

Awesome book! Can’t wait for her coming book this year 2024.

Great book. I can tell that it was handled with care when beginning shipped.

absolutely amazing. just picked up reading again and for this to be my first book back was awesome! she’s amazing

Man this book had me on my sofa all weekend! I’m soooooo in love! I just brought three more books !!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m

Love love love this and wish they would make it into a movie

This book was so well written, you can't help but visualize the characters and settings! The plot takes you through so many emotions but it's such an amazing story of loss, heartbreak and triumph and unconditional love. You will not want to put this book down!

I’ve had this book sitting on my self for months, and today I thought, why not? Let me tell you I finished this book in a day. The writing? The plot? The love shown throughout the entire story? 1000/10. Kennedy Ryan knocked this out of the park! The only complaint I have is the ending. I cannot handle abrupt endings, it makes me sad to not be able to see an epilogue of a story’s main characters. Even though it leaves it open for a reader’s imagination. But man. I’m in love with this book. Good job!

I was gifted this book and I couldn’t put it down! Such a great read

Good read, this is my first time reading a book by this author. Looking forward to her next release.

It’s sooooooo gooood.
