Talk about an emotional Rollercoaster. Ash knows just how to get you hooked on her characters and pull you along for the ride. Her pairings are exquisite. And I loved both the Single mother representation and the feeling of how small of a world these characters lived in, with connections between the main characters' lives coming out of the woodwork throughout at just the perfect timing. Thea, Liam, Benji and especially Jake are all characters who you will enjoy getting to know, and whose journeys are worth watching.
