Reviewed by claire3.5 stars I don't have a lot to say about this book, but I'll still try to write a review... Firstly, what I liked: - the love story was cute - the setting (music group, choir) - the characters were interesting, but some (like Benjo) were very roughly characterized (maybe I just overread it) - the description of the pain and the way Ven found a way to live with them (I have no idea if that was an accurate description, but for me it dives like that) Secondly, what I didn't like: - very long beginning (250 pages more or less preparation, that could have been shorter, the real story is just the last 50 pages - and I don't know, but I missed something. Maybe a big plot or something that makes the book very special Conclusion: Rec for everyone who wants to read a cute, nonthrilling romance book in a choir setting.
