I was expecting something more Jodi Picoult/Liane Moriarty feeling like but Ask Again, Yes was a depressing story spanning more than four decades and two generations. We have characters struggeling with loneliness, mental illness, alcoholism, trauma handed down through generations, family, friendships and relationships.
I really felt the darkness, the pain and struggle and tbh the only reason the rating is so slow is down to personal enjoyment. I might have enjoyed it more at some other point but this week it wasn't it.
