Before I Let Go Book Review

Content warning: this review discusses stillborn births and mental health. I’ve read plenty of romances, especially within the last two months. Yet, there is one trope that I’ve always been curious about, but never fully explored until now, and that is the second chance romance.

Full disclosure: I was given a free PDF copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Love is in the air, and there are many ways to express it.
