Ask Again, Yes: A Novel Review: Amazing Book! - "They'd both learned that a memory is a fact that's been dyed and trimmed and rinsed so many times that it comes out looking almost unrecognizable to anyone else who was in that room..." . THIS BOOK. My heart. All the feels, all the tears - I could not put the story down! The characters were so real, the writing so good, and the story so compelling that it is moments like these that I am so happy books exist, and feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to read this one in particular. "They'd both learned that a memory is a fact that's been dyed and trimmed and rinsed so many times that it comes out looking almost unrecognizable to anyone else who was in that room..." . THIS BOOK. My heart. All the feels, all the tears - I could not put the story down! The characters were so real, the writing so good, and the story so compelling that it is moments like these that I am so happy books exist, and feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to read this one in particular. . This story is ultimately about Peter and Kate, neighbors from birth who seem destined to be together. However, a terrible event occurs that separates Peter and Kate at a young age. This event isn't something that's easy to get over as the rippling consequences affect so many people in very profound ways. . ASK AGAIN, YES is a slow burn and very character-driven. These are my favorite types of books; I find that novels with interesting and "real" characters stay with me much longer than books with fast plots. I can't imagine I'll ever forget Peter's story; he truly touched my heart. . Now it's time to go read everything Mary Beth Keane has ever written! Review: A truly good book - I want to start by saying I loved this book. It really truly was good. It starts by following two police officers as they start their careers, marriages, and eventually move in next to each other. From then on, we mainly follow their children who naturally grow up as best friends with each other as neighbors. This story pulls you in and makes you want to go straight to the end to find out how Kate and Peter end up. I read this book in about two days because I couldn’t wait to learn more about Peter and Kate both individually and together. They both deal with so many problems throughout their lives that are so realistic and it really tugs at your heartstrings at some points. This was also an interesting opportunity to think about how poorly mental health was handled during this time and what proper treatment could really do. My only issue with this book is the last quarter. I found it to be predictable and it just didn’t grab my attention the way the first 3/4ths did. It continued to deal with realistic issues but it just didn’t feel as great as the start of the book. I also didn’t understand why the beginning of the book and even the book description went on about Lenas loneliness and how she just wanted to leave, but it was never addressed again and she was just the perfect doting wife the rest of the book. Even though I liked her character the rest of the book, It didn’t really add up. Overall, I really enjoyed this and recommend it, I just wish there was little more something to the ending. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #630,431 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #437 in Coming of Age Fiction (Books) #1,948 in Literary Fiction (Books) #26,795 in American Literature (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (20,306) | | Dimensions | 6 x 1.1 x 9 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 1982106980 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1982106980 | | Item Weight | 1.2 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 400 pages | | Publication date | May 28, 2019 | | Publisher | Scribner | ## Images ![Ask Again, Yes: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91nM7fy6fjL.jpg) ![Ask Again, Yes: A Novel - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81SDMBdqllL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Book! *by D***K on November 4, 2019* "They'd both learned that a memory is a fact that's been dyed and trimmed and rinsed so many times that it comes out looking almost unrecognizable to anyone else who was in that room..." .

But the best thing about the book is the writing quality, beautiful, clear, and thoughtful. It's about two cops and their families and what happens between them. Each of the main characters are developed with their own stories. And you don't even realize until the end if there was a true main character of the story. That was cleverly done. It is a beautiful story with some realism. I really enjoyed reading this book as it makes you contemplate your own life as you really feel for each of the characters who all have good and bad traits. And then at the end you understand the meaning of the book title which was always in the back of my mind as I read the book wondering about it. It all comes together at the end. Great Book. I hope to read more books by her. --- ## 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.sk/products/124934161-ask-again-yes-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/124934161-ask-again-yes-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-29*
