A gut-wrenching story about life in its purest form; full of heartbreak, tragedy, struggle and consequences
Ask Again, Yes is about two neighbouring families: The Gleeson’s and the Standhope’s. The Gleeson’s’ have a daughter, Kate and the Standhope’s a son, Peter, but this is not your usual boy meets girl next door story. Kate and Peter are torn apart by a catastrophic event that parts these families. Kate and Peter grow up, apart. Until Peter contacts Kate in hopes of reconnecting and meeting again years later.
I love Mary’s ability to have the reader empathize with each character, and each situation. There was more than one time that I was at the brink of tears in public while reading this book. I enjoyed the ending, it really tied up everything nicely for me. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves a good domestic contemporary fiction read. I can see this being an incredible book club book as there are just so many avenues for discussions to follow.
Rating: [4/5]
