I loved this book so much! Judah?? That is my man!!! This story started with Soledad experiencing such a huge and unexpected issue, and we are on a journey of her picking herself up and let me tell you... What a ride! Soledad goes through a transition of self loathing to self love in such a wholesome and inspiring way! That is the best part this of book, it felt like the romance was not just between the FMC and the MMC but with Sol and herself. I love how the author can write such well rounded characters who are resilient and can stand for themselves, that the partner is a bonus and not a necessity! Judah, is just so wonderful. He is an amazing father and was such a great partner too. He was so kind, so loving and so patient!! I loved now considerate he was to Sol’s journey and how he put his want for her aside to support her and allow her to reach where he is at without pressuring her! I loved him so much. I also enjoyed the friendships within this story, both with Soledad and the girls and Judah with Truman. Just beautiful. I also noted the autism rep and how Judah was also realising his own neurodivergent traits similar to his twins who both are autistic and both in different ways. Overall this was an amazing story and such a high. Also, Judah supremacy!!! Review: Is it just me or could this have been a great Judah & Tremaine's Second Chances book? - The book starts strong with Judah, Tremaine and their twins with autism. Then we are introduced to Soledad, whom the story ends up being about. Considering this point, I feel it should have started with Soledad. For the first third, or so, of the book, I felt the writing was strong and the story very much captivated me. Unfortunately, the longer it went on--too long, I fear--the looser, or maybe it's uneven, it got. Until the last four chapters, which I thought were strong again I felt this book would have been better as two different stories. One, a divorce story in which the character of Soledad is betrayed by her criminal husband and then puts her life back together with her children. Those sections had some great writing. The second story could have been a second chances romance between Judah and Tremaine in which the children with autism temporarily have the heartbreak of losing the family unit and then regain it because Judah and Tremaine find each other again when the boys are a little older and don't take all the bandwidth. I read the book on Kindle, so I'm not sure how much of it I skipped through, but it feels like close to half. And then I read the last four chapters which, to me, were mildly satisfying. All that said, I feel Kennedy is a good and strong writer with tremendous heart and the facility to convey it, and I wouldn't be surprised to discover that she has written stories that are more of a piece than this one. I started out with three stars, then changed it to four, because writing is dang hard, even for the best. And you don't always have all the time in the world to make your book everything it could be. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,839 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #23 in Black & African American Romance Fiction #163 in Contemporary Women Fiction #1,170 in Contemporary Romance (Books) | | Book 2 of 3 | Skyland | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (11,569) | | Dimensions | 5.43 x 1.18 x 8.19 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1538706822 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1538706824 | | Item Weight | 12.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 416 pages | | Publication date | March 5, 2024 | | Publisher | Forever | ## Images ![This Could Be Us (Skyland, 2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NXIT8Cg8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I loved this so much *by N***I on May 4, 2025* Miss Kennedy did it again!

It's a story about the impassioned and ardent love of the self. This novel is life-affirming, uplifting, and inspirational. In this scintillating and sanguine work of fiction, we see Soledad Charles go from the life of a glamorous housewife to the life of a struggling single parent provider just trying to keep a roof over her head after her husband not only cheats on her but is jailed for embezzling money from his employer. During Soledad's sojourn of self-discovery, she has to tackle finding a way to survive and ultimately thrive on her own as the divorcee of an ex-con. While confronting the devastation her ex-husband has left her with, she falls in love with Judah Cross, the man who put her husband in jail. Soledad is a woman of incredible inner strength, compassion, and fortitude who is surrounded by friends and family that cherish and fortify her. Relationships with the women in her lives are aspirational and inspirational. Frequently books geared towards women, especially romance, feature toxic love interests and harmful relationships. You won't find any of that negativity in this refreshing narrative. I loved everything about this book from its cover to the last page. The book is a fast-paced page turner that even those who aren't into romance will love. It's the most inspirational and empowering work of fiction I've come across. I can't recommend this novel enough; every woman should have a copy of This Could Be Us on her shelves. ## Frequently Bought Together - This Could Be Us - Can't Get Enough - Before I Let Go --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/539593838-this-could-be-us-skyland-2](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/539593838-this-could-be-us-skyland-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
