About:
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?
My Thoughts:
What I liked about this book was the uniqueness of it. I say this because the story focused on a family dealing with grief and loss, divorce and reconciliation all rolled into a very beautifully written story.
In "Before I Let Go" we meet divorced couple Yasmen and Josiah, trying to maintain a level of normalcy for the sake of their children and as thy work together as business partners for their restaurant, Grits. This couple did not break up because of adultery or violence, their break up was simply in my view, because of lack of communication in light of loss of two family members.
What the author did beautifully was really emphasize for the reader, the impact that loss could have on the foundation of the family. Also that counselling and therapy, while some may be apprehensive about seeking such help as Josiah was, could be quite a freeing experience. Josiah's character was so well written because I can see most husbands acting the way he did. One thing though I felt that he needed to be stronger and fight to save his marriage and family.
Depression is REAL and reading about Yasmen's experience reminded me of this. I loved the realness of this family's struggle and that makes in my view an excellent story.
Liked this book.
