Before I Let Go

by Kimberly T. Matthews

After waiting for what seemed like forever to get a marriage commitment from her fiancé, Micah Abraham's wedding day has finally arrived. Everything is set for her to have the wedding she'd always fantasized about, and has been fully paid for by her groom, Rossi Evans. There is only one thing wrong. . .Micah won't be there.

Micah has long since reached the peak of her frustration. Unbeknownst to Rossi, he's already been dismissed, but instead of declining his proposal and breaking the engagement, Micah happily moves forward. . .with hidden intentions. Armed with Rossi's credit cards, Micah expertly feigns the role of an anxious and ecstatic bride-to-be, sparing no expense for their wedding, yet telling no one of her plans. The day of the wedding, she arrives as scheduled to the church for her hair and make up, then makes a request to her bridesmaids to allow her to spend her last few moments of singleness by herself. Micah uses this opportunity to slip out the side door, jump in her rented car and hot-foot it to the airport. By the time Rossi realizes that he (and the entire wedding party) has been standing at the alter, Micah is in Charlotte, NC, easing into a tub of warm bubbles, enjoying a glass of wine and leafing through her favorite magazine.

When Micah and Rossi's paths cross again, Micah is caught totally off guard by the situation, and by the feelings that have been simmering deep inside her heart, despite her denial. Will Micah embrace love this second time around, having set it free the first time?

It was good at first, entertaining enough to keep me interested. But I feel like there are stories left with no end.
Also, the surprise ending seems so unrealistic. It’s fiction after all and I did read it pretty quickly so I guess it was interesting enough to want to finish it.

Ok Know i enjoyed this book but at first it was all about micah but then you introduced the other girls and you got to know them and what was going on in there live and you got interested in what was going on with them but in the middle of the book after charvette's hospitalization they just got left behind and you didn't hear aboout them again till the wedding i wanted to know how good romni was doing and what was going through charvette's mind when she woke up in the hospital. Also i loved the ending but i wanted more like what was going through rossi's head when he go the note that the girls gave him what was there reaction when micah came back. but all in all it was a good book.

I got heated a few times over the course of this book. Called Micah an idiot and wished she would just wake up and see things for how they were and not how she wanted them to be. The book redeemed itself in the end thankfully.
