This was okay, interesting enough that I kept listening but I’m not sure it will stay with me. I liked the stores but I wanted a little more oopmh from the characters.

Este é um romance agridoce, realista, pleno de nostalgia, anseios e desejos, angústias e desilusões, sobre um grande amor que perdurou, mesmo após mal-entendidos, ausências e distâncias.

Um amor alterado pelas feridas, mas que permanece igualmente intenso, resistente ao passar dos anos.

É um romance emocional, que ao mesmo tempo que os personagens se apaixonam, nos fazem apaixonar pela sua história, as suas descobertas, agruras e emoções ao rubro.

Perfeito para quem gosta das relações que evoluem de amigos a amantes, e de segundas oportunidades.

The book was very entertaining, and a beautiful love story. However, the main characters were a tad frustrating and their personality traits would contradict themselves. Lead female protagonist would be confident, outgoing and smooth but then childish and shy? Felt like I was reading about two different people.

Super predictable. Manic pixie dream girl trope from hell. I didn’t really care about the characters. The FMC was a music prodigy and she was reduced to a HS conductor? (There’s nothing wrong with that, just… really? She was a PRODIGY) There were some cute parts, but I spent most of the time cringing.
