I said that giving Before I Let Go 5 stars was as easy as breathing....and if possible, This Could Be Us was even easier. There is something so effortless about Kennedy's writing. I will never understand how she's able to weave such emotional stories in a way that feels like she's speaking to your soul. Sol's journey to loving herself first and foremost was incredible to witness. Judah's unbridled love and acceptance of not only himself but everyone around him (sans Edward - f*ck him) made me want to give him a hug. And together? Two magnets that drew me in every time they were on the page. Kennedy Ryan will always hurts you but she will always makes sure she puts you back together better than you were before.

Thank you NetGalley and Forever for my advanced copy!
