Before I Knew is the prequel to Carrie Ann Ryan's series The Cage Family. It tells the story of how Aston Cage, the eldest son of the Cage family, and Blakely Graves met.

A mistaken addition to the family group chat introduces Blakely to the Cage family. She is unfamiliar with the individuals on the other side of the chat, but their interactions were engaging and fun. She made her presence known and soon she is removed from the chat group. However, intrigued by whom the mystery woman is, Aston initiates a private conversation with her.

I appreciated the concept of Before I Knew. It provided a brief and enjoyable introduction to Carrie Ann Ryan's new series. I had fun meeting the Cage family and look forward to their stories
