I'm curious about Ash because I "saw" the author on a YA chat. She didn't say much memorable though, except about showing that two women can be together in YA fiction. The YA target audience tends to be homophobic. A lot of the YA fiction about homosexuality is meant to be open but it makes such a deal about it that it offends people who are GLBT, so I'd like to see how she handles it, and how kids react to it.
