Ask Me Again by E.J. Noyes
4.0
“You can ask me again and again, and I will always say yes.”
Just lovely. Since this is a sequel, I won't say too much, but I'm just always impressed by how thoroughly and effectively Noyes manages to convey emotion, and make the reader really feel things. This is a continuation of the romance from book one, following the same characters, and the fall out of some things that happened in the first book. I don't usually like following the same characters over multiple books, especially if they've already gotten together. But Noyes writes this so well, showing us a really heart-rending conflict with this couple, but without leaning hard on theatrics or over blown drama. It's so well-written, and more importantly, realistically written, and I appreciate all the themes that we're dealing with, like mental health and PTSD. I keep thinking about how simple this book is, and how there's not much plot, but nonetheless I really enjoyed it, and teared up several times.
Listened to the audiobook as read by Abby Craden; excellent as always. I love this couple so much, and I'm excited to know that there's more in this series/world.
