![]() Captain Sabine Fleischer is finishing her second to last deployment before fulfilling her contract with the Army. Surgeon Rebecca Keane is now retired from the Army and runs a civilian trauma center in Washington DC. ![]() ‘Ask Me Again’ picks up 2 years after the end of the first book. Although technically not necessary to read the first installment to enjoy this one, I highly recommend doing so in order to fully grasp the dynamics within the story. This was the highly anticipated sequel to Noyes’ debut novel ‘Ask, Tell’. If you haven't read/listened to it yet, what a treat you have in store. If you enjoyed the first book, this is a no brainer. She gives each character a distinctive voice and infuses the audiobook with something special. Abby Craden seems to have truly grasped every nuance in the text. And just when I thought it was going to descend into cliché or sentimentality, the story would take an unexpected turn, or a deeper level of understanding would be reached. At times I would get so frustrated with her and Rebecca's miscommunication, but that was entirely due to becoming so emotionally invested in the events and characters. Sabine's struggle with the effects of PTSD and the reactions of those close to her, are so well portrayed. Book 2 is even better! The perspective alternates between Sabine and Rebecca which adds a whole new dimension to the story. This is the follow up to Ask Tell, which I thought could not be topped. ![]()
