6.1.2019 - Ask Again, Yes

Ask Again, Yes

Many thanks to NetGalley, Scribner, and Mary Beth Keane for the opportunity to read this wonderful novel - I loved it!

Frances Gleeson and Brian Stanhope are two NYPD rookies, although not close friends.  A few years later, they find themselves next-door neighbors.  Both now married and with children, we learn that things go on behind closed doors that even neighbors aren't privy to.  Frances and Lena's youngest daughter, Kate, and Brian and Anne's son, Peter, become the best of friends.  However, one night when they are teenagers will change everything.  Years later find Kate and Peter reuniting and the majority of the book focuses on their relationship with each other and their families after the tragic night years ago caused a permanent rift.

Just a beautifully written novel about family, mental illness, forgiveness, loyalty and the past that shapes each of us.  I loved these characters and all their flaws.  A story that will stay with you after you turn the last page.  Highly recommended!
