Before I Let Go

One of the best books I've read in a while

The characters are breathing people. It's like being a fly on the wall that just so happens to get an inside peek at the thoughts and feelings of the people involved. In a book with so much trauma, this isn't a trauma story. It really is a love story and overcoming of so many traumatic things. I cried, laughed, and blushed in all the right places with the amazing pacing that seemed effortlessly to guide you through the scenes.

I hope Hendricks gets a happily after that's as beautiful as this one was. I hope Soledad gets better than her excuse for a partner.

Trigger Warnings
-Grief or loss of a child & loved one (while not happening on the page, it is referenced and relived from different angles)
-Mentions and Hints of Self Check-Out
-Semi Rebound Dating
-Teenage Rebuttles

There could be others, but these are the only ones that came to mind for me that might make me not read something... that being said, if you are willing to look at the book, it handles all of these amazingly. So far, it's been my favorite book I've read this year. I can't wait to read what else the author has.
