Ash has come a long way since his breakdown in Slide and he and Pete are in a really good place. They got a new apartment, with a rooftop terrace, closer to Pete's mom and things are going so well.The events of this book really test Ash's mental stability and the stability of he and Pete as a couple. I was floored by a couple of things that happened and we get to see just how strong Ash really is. Of course we already knew the strength he was capable of because he actually made it out of his childhood alive and he got clean and stayed that way. But in Slide, he had Pete to help bolster his own strength and take care of him after his meltdown.In spite of how far he has come, Ash still doesn't see himself as strong, and he is tested in ways that he never thought would happen. And Pete. Wow, so much going on there, too. Family, work, tragedy... I'm rather amazed at the both of them. I was reading from the edge of my seat for about a third of the book.I loved seeing them both grow as a couple and learn how individually strong they both are (especially Ash) and the ending was so beautiful. Amazing.
