Jennifer Shanahan asked A.M. Arthur:

Is the Ale in "Come What May" the same one in "No Such Thing"? Just curious because that is a pretty unique name. There is no Jamie in CWM though. Although the name of the coffee shop and the bakery are different, they are also pretty close in name, too. Love your books! Especially loved Come What May!! Thanks for writing such awesome books! Jennifer

A.M. Arthur Hi Jennifer! Yes, it's the same Ale from "No Such Thing" (Belonging #1). The new coffee shop, Half-Dozen, is the shop that Ezra and Ale opened together in between "Maybe This Time" and "Stand By You" (Belonging #2 & 3). Timeline-wise the shop has been open for about three years at the start of "Come What May." Jaime didn't show up in CWM, but he has a small appearance in the sequel, "Say It Right."

Thanks for reading!
