Reviews
Pulled along by the shimmering subtleties of Sestanovich’s prose, we track our boy and girl into adulthood . . . a finely drawn portrait of the kind of friendship we rarely see in contemporary fictionJonathan Lee, The Guardian
Sestanovich’s allusive tone and incisive prose recall the best of RooneyMichael Arditti, Spectator
Ask Me Again is a beautifully observed and deeply philosophical novel, which surprises and delights at every turnJenny Offill, author of Weather
Rigorous, intensely observed, and brimming with the sort of elusive revelations that form the heartbeat of a life, Sestanovich’s novel debut demonstrates a tremendous gift at rendering the texture of love, faith, and heartbreak with both subtlety and force. In her masterful hands, relationships condense, turn acute, and unfurl with symphonic grace across the individual arcs of characters that you can’t help but carry with you long afterwardAlexandra Kleeman, author of Something New Under the Sun
