Wow this hit the spot! If you read the first book you have to read this one! It is terrific!!!

Ryan is a talented author the emotions that she can get the reader to feel through words just blows my mind! Truly this book grabbed me and didn’t let go. The character are relatable which makes you so invested in what they do and how it will turn out. I liked the first book but this one I love. That’s saying alot as I’m a HUGE fantasy reader so for a book of this genre to hit home it’s worth a try!

I loved this book so much- I have been most excited for Soledad's book and I was not disappointed. The chemistry is off the charts and I loved her story of growth and finding herself/independence after marriage.

Before I Let Go was such a beautiful and raw look at loss, and had a remained one of my favorite books since I first read it, so I was beyond excited to finally read THIS COULD BE US, and loved it!

Soledad Barnes is a wife, mom, and fixer of all things. First introduced to her character in Before I Let Go, it was amazing to see her growth, self-love, and strength as she overcomes hurt and betrayal.

*many thanks to Forever and Netgalley for the gifted copy for review

Kennedy Ryan never disappoints and This Could Be Us was no exception. This book was formidable and healing and so necessary for women of all ages to read.

Overall, I can see why so many people love her books. I ended up not finishing this one, but that’s because there was a Particular thing that is specific to me that caused me to not finish it, but overall four stars for the book portion that I read

I absolutely loved this book! I loved her first book in the series and I didn’t like the would beat it but it was just as good. Can’t wait for the 3rd book!

I enjoy stories that explore complex characters, emotional depth, and the complexities of relationships. "This Could Be Us" by offers a similar blend of emotional intensity, character-driven drama, and a slow-burning romance, as Soledad navigates the aftermath of a shattered life and the possibility of new love. With its themes of self-discovery, trust, and the power of love to heal and transform, "This Could Be Us" was a great introduction to Ryan's work for me. I do think you should read book 1 in the series before picking this one up. I didn't and while I don't think it impacted my reading experience too much, there were a few things I didn't notice because I hadn't read book 1 first.

Kennedy Ryan never misses. This is the second book in the Skyland series and follows Soledad's story. Kennedy Ryan has a way of writing her character's emotions that are very relatable. The food descriptions in these novels is also always top tier. I definitely would recommend this novel but would recommend reading Before I Let Go first so you can get the proper introduction into the friend group. I can't wait for the third book!

This book was such a beautiful story of love and finding oneself. Kennedy did a wonderfully job showcasing both the FMC and MMC strengths and vulnerabilities. What I love about this book is the character development.

I related to this book in the series more than the first one. I felt the pain and the frustrations of having to raise children on your own and Soledad does a wonderful job of it. We see children on the Spectrum in this book, something I rarely see discussed. The message of the importance of self care and healing is what endears me to this story. If you are a woman that has gone through some s*%t you will love this book.

Thanks to Netgalley for the Advance copy of this book.

Kennedy Ryan is one of my all-time favorite authors. I read her Soul Series and I am hooked for life. She can write about anything and I will read it. Soledad and Judah's story feels so real and genuine, finding unexpected love after divorce. Having families and career aspirations complicate the dating scene, which is why Soledad does not even consider entering the dating pool. Judah has his hands full with his twin boys and ex-wife, but he cannot help falling for Soledad. He's the ultimate gentleman, giving her time and space. They are so deserving of each other and I am so glad they took that leap!

wow. kennedy has done it again. see my "review" of Before I Let Go here. 😂 just wow. everything. wow. 😍

she just keeps solidifying herself as a personal fave.

sn: i know hendrix story is coming. however, she didn’t set that up in this book like she did in before i let go. like the way that one ended, we KNEW soledad’s story was coming. nothing about this book implied anything about hendrix to me. i just know it’s coming because kennedy has said it. so i’m quite interested to see how Skyland 3 will be! can’t wait! c’monnnn 2025! 🙌🏽

OMG I so loved this book!!! This probably the best book I have read all year. I would even go as far as to say that I like this better than Before I let go.

I am not particularly in a romance season, but every once in a while I will pick up a Kennedy Ryan book and I am never disappointed. I have had this book for sometime, not sure why it took me so long to pick it up and read it but wow what a read. I smiled through out this whole book. There was so much love and care and not just for the romance part, but I loved the love of family, friend and children. I love this books strength and encourage, I just love everything about this book the characters, the storyline I mean everything. I hate to say it but I think I like this one more than Before I let go. I think I would stick my dating toe back in the water if I could get me a Mr. Judah Cross.

I was told this book was going to make my feel like my heart was ripped out and torn to shreds. Which is apparently a longstanding opinion on Kennedy Ryan's book! My friends were apparently correct because that's exactly how it felt. Kennedy Ryan has a unique ability to write the most disastrous and painful second chances with distinct, relatable characters at the heart. It almost feels like you're read an actual person's experiences play out.

I also happen to greatly enjoy books that make my chest feel like someone scooped it out. She's so good at make the heartbreak and pain feel so visceral. I'm so excited to pick up her other contemporary works and read Before I Let Go as well. I feel like that will make me sob just as much if not more. I can't wait to get my own copy of this book and cry more as I read.

Thank you so much Forever Publishing for the opportunity to read and review!

Kennedy Ryan has done it again. While it’s different from Before I Let Go, it’s just as engaging. I was invested from the beginning and Ryan held my attention throughout the book. I immediately purchased a copy for my family to read.

I appreciated seeing the relationship that Soledad and Judah had with their children. She explored what it’s like to parent in a variety of conditions.

I also enjoyed seeing the power of friendship. Soledad’s friends were incredibly important to the trajectory of her life. I’m glad that was highlighted along with the romance.

Overall this was a five star read. I cannot wait to read about Hendrix and her story.

This book literally changed my life. It is not an exaggeration. I fell in love with Soledad and her perseverance. I love her strength and her decision to put herself first. This is the book that made me a Kennedy Ryan forever fan.

I didn’t love before I let go but was excited to give this one a try. I really loved this story!! The romance between Soledad and Judah was so sweet, and I appreciated the time jumps in the book. This book really focused on Soledad’s journey and I really enjoyed that. It was really great to read from her POV and watch her heal from a bad situation. This was so well done.

This book drew me in right away. And kept me engaged until the end. The romance between Soledad and Judah was so mature. They had each lived life and were finding new love. But there was so much more to the story than romance. Judah and Soledad each have important relationships with their children. Judah is co-parenting. Soledad has her best friends and her sisters. And they even take care of those in their community. And are learning to love themselves. There are so many different types of love presented.

This series is one of the greatest I have ever read. I enjoy all of her books, but these characters are so relatable and I truly feel I am experiencing life right along side them. I would recommend this series to anyone!

Kennedy Ryan is a masterful writer. Her style is unmatched and I am continuously in awe of how she can make me feel so attached to each and every character within the first few chapters. I didn't think anything could top the Hoops series... but I have grown so attached to the Skyland series and characters. They touch and heal my adult soul in so many ways. Soledad is one of my favorite FMCs... I love her strength and her mind. I can't wait for more books in this series!
