In this episode, we dive into Kennedy Ryan’s emotionally powerful novel Before I Let Go, a story of love, loss, and second chances. We explore the journey of Yasmen and Josiah, former spouses navigating co-parenting, grief, and the undeniable connection that still lingers between them. We will discuss how Ryan masterfully portrays mental health, personal healing, and Black love with tenderness and authenticity. Join me as we unpack the layers of this beautifully complex romance and talk about why it’s more than just a love story—it’s a story about rediscovering yourself and the people you love after the storm.
