Kezia Duah's Reviews > Before I Let Go

Wow!! I love a second chance romance but this one is my first one where the characters are divorced with kids. I loved this one very much as most of my expectations were exceeded.

The main thing I was looking for is chemistry and growth. This was done extremely well because I saw a lot of growth from Josiah, Yasmen, and their kids. They took active steps to find out where the problems stemmed from and work more on their communication. Regarding chemistry, my goodness! You know a story is about to be good when the tension between two people who are obviously still in love can be felt at high levels. I like that this didn’t feel rushed at all, as it gave me slow-burn vibes. I also like that I wasn't necessarily on anyone’s side since they both messed up.

Their relationship with their kids was also quite substantial and the Ryan does a great job of showing how important it was in the mending of Josiah and Yasmen's relationship. Their daughter caught my anger way too many times, but her character did illustrate what is probably common to see in kids when their parents divorce. Still, she did almost catch these hands.

Mental health was also huge in this one. We don’t often talk about how hard it can be to take steps to open up such as going to therapy. I was so proud of the characters who took this step and thankful to Ryan for bringing awareness to this.

Highly recommend it!
