3.5 rounding down. I liked this book, but I didn’t love it. I had to really make an effort to read it instead of feeling like I couldn’t put it down. Plus, there was just enough cheesiness and cliche to make it a little annoying. Still, I would recommend it.
What a cute & cozy read! I really enjoyed the characters. I must say, it started off a little boring to me, but it picked up nicely. & I loved the ending. Would recommend, and would read again!
Actually 4.5 stars - loved the book, loved the story, loved the writing.

Complicated
Very good book about people, music and the complexities of love and relationships, keeping what we know. I love the community building in this story.
The music shop by Joyce_ Rachel
Story starts out with Frank in England and he runs the vinyl record shop where he has the right answer for all who walk in after talking to them, via a song.
He picks out the exact song that will motivate the person into looking into their troubles and coming up with the right answers.
He meets Elsa from Germany who has disfigured hands as a violinist but she can do miracles in his shop with certain procedures. She becomes pregnant and has to leave to go back to Germany and she tends to her relatives who are ill.
Many years later she returns back to London to find Frank and the only way she can think to do that is awesome. Love how it comes down to help from many others she doesn't know.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

Read this on a cold, rainy London day, even if you're not in London. Read this when you're cold and listening to music you have never listened to before.
3.5 stars! After the heavy ready of Tournament of Books choices, this was a nice light read and as an added bonus about music. Cute story much like her previous novel. I think this would be a great vacation read.
