Description

“Real, raw, magnificentBefore I Let Go is the beautiful angst I love to read.” Colleen Hoover, #1 New York Times bestselling author

A Good Morning America Book Buzz Pick!
Their love was supposed to last forever. But when life delivered blow after devastating blow, Yasmen and Josiah Wade found that love alone couldn’t solve or save everything.

It couldn’t save their marriage.

Yasmen wasn’t prepared for how her life fell apart, but she’s is finally starting to find joy again. She and Josiah have found a new rhythm, co-parenting their two kids and running a thriving business together. Yet like magnets, they’re always drawn back to each other, and now they’re beginning to wonder if they’re truly ready to let go of everything they once had.

Soon, one stolen kiss leads to another…and then more. It's hot. It's illicit. It's all good—until old wounds reopen. Is it too late for them to find forever? Or could they even be better, the second time around?

Award-winning and bestselling "powerhouse" author Kennedy Ryan is at her absolute best in this compelling, scorching novel about hope and healing, and what it truly means to love for a lifetime (USA Today).

    Honestly the best romance book I’ve read so far! I loved exploring Yasmen’s and Josiah’s deep, complicated, real relationship. Seeing both perspectives of their love and feelings for each other, how they navigated through that… I was rooting for them lol. Looking forward to the other books in this series.
  • Beautiful & raw a story on finding love again

    I can’t stop recommending this book. The way the love wasn’t toxic but life had just hit a little harder for Josiah and Yas who’ve been divorced going on two years after two major losses. This book explores the love, the hurt, and difficulties of finding your way back after life has came down on you unexpectedly. The themes of depression & therapy perfectly executed to show the steps of healing from life’s mishaps.

    I never had so many teary-eyed moments reading a romance novel in my life! This author writes in the cannon of authors like Eric Jerome Dickey. Unbelievable writing. Smart, sexy, and laugh out loud funny. An excellent read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The storyline of the book is great BUT it starts off slow . The author In my opinion did stretch the writing out too far. I think the book has 40 chapters or more it could have been 25-30 chapters max to keep the readers attention. I’ve read books with 60 or chapters within 2-3 days, took me about 2 weeks to finish just because the story was kind of stretched out, slow start and parts that could have been kept ,but overall get story
  • Amazing.. A jaw dropper
