Product Information

Yasmen and Josiah are divorced, raised their two children Deja (13) and Kassim (10), run their successful soul fusion restaurant Grits together and take each day as it comes. Yasmen is very active in her children’s activities, sporting and school events and is a very active member of her community organizing local business events. Josiah and Yasmen fell in love and loved each other intensely and beautifully, but several tragedies befell their family and led to their divorce. Devastating, thought provoking, and so hopeful, this deeply romantic second-chance love story brought out all my emotions. This book is stunningly beautiful’ FARAH HERON The connection and magnetism between Yasmen and Josiah was visceral. They never stopped loving and loving each other, but Yasmen had to heal before she could be loved again. When they finally got what they wanted, they were like fire! These scenes were hot and some parts made me blush.

She’s not someone you banished with therapy and meds. She is you. You cannot dissociate from her. Until you reconcile that, you won’t find true peace. Until you have compassion for her instead of judgment, you cannot fully heal.” Fans of Colleen Hoover will love this beautiful, unforgettable, oh-so-real second-chance romance whose characters will stay in your heart long after reading’ JILL SHALVIS heard someone say once that when you try to fix people’s hurt, you’re controlling it instead of sitting with them and connecting. I didn’t have the words for it then, but I have language for it now.”It begins with a tremor, a realization that love happens in the fragile context of our mortality. That love and life occur just beyond the reach of our control. There is only one letter of difference between love and lose, and somewhere along the way, for me they became synonymous. I understand now that something broke in me after my parents died that somehow healed wrong, and I started measuring how much I loved people in terms of how much it would hurt to lose them.”

She’s the hardest-working woman I know and sees her life’s mission as raising three beautiful humans to be confident women who make the world a better place. Some might judge that, say a woman as smart as Soledad could do so much more. I see the power in choosing your own more. “So” SPECTACULAR! Kennedy is doing something no one else in romance is doing right now. If you love angst with the most satisfying payoff, Before I Let Go is for you." - Christina Lauren Before I Let Go was my most anticipated read of the last half of the year and when I saw the ARC was available I couldn’t even grab it fast enough. Like everything Kennedy writes, this was beautiful, painful, moving, emotional, romantic and just a real journey between Yasmen and Josiah. This is easily my favorite read of 2022, not only one of my best Kennedy Ryan reads but my all-time favorite novel.

I teared up (and laughed, and sighed, and cheered) many, many, many times while reading Kennedy Ryan’s new masterpiece, Before I Let Go. There is a specific scene, though, that I’ll carry in my heart forever: Yasmen—mother, ex-wife, restaurant owner, all-around superwoman, severely depressed person in recovery—is asked by her therapist to set a date to forgive herself for the choices she made in the past. After thinking about it long and hard, she says: “Today. Write down today.” Love is hard. And when trauma is added to the mix, the partner you adore can struggle to be the partner you need. Hachette Book Group is a leading book publisher based in New York and a division of Hachette Livre, the third-largest publisher in the world. Social Media Yasmen and Josiah have been divorced for two years. They thought they would be together forever, but a traumatic event in their lives tore them apart to the point of breaking up. A few years after Yasmen and Josiah’s divorce, they found a rhythm to raise their two children and run their restaurant together. Just when they think they’re moving on with their lives, the attraction between them begins to pull them closer than ever.

The pacing is slow in places, but the story is so real that I sometimes forgot I was reading a work of fiction. Before I Let Go is an inspiring, moving, romantic read. A gorgeously poignant story of healing, family, and love. Kennedy Ryan is a true artist." - Helen Hoang I used to be all about romance until I got tired of the tropes and became fed up with smut over substance. Given that, Kennedy Ryan is the only romance author I will read, along with Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland. Those three women write intelligently. Hoping I can find more romance novels that’ll keep me reading. The fallout from divorce affects family members in different ways. The dynamics between Josiah, Yasmen, and their kids kept me invested—particularly Yasmen’s relationship with her surly teenaged daughter. A story of resilience, redemption and second chances; it’s heavy but hopeful. With meticulously detailed prose, Ryan creates characters who are deeply relatable, so compelling and lushly drawn that they feel like old friends.”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).
