Symphony of Secrets by Brendan Slocumb
3.0

Some parts of this book I really enjoyed and others I didn’t so much. Overall, I think some of the story set in the present was a bit far fetched. It would be a lot more realistic to be trapped in bureaucratic/administrative BS with threatening paperwork than what really happened. Also, I thought the love story seemed forced and unnecessary. I sensed no chemistry from those two characters. I almost think it would have been better if it stuck to the past timeline, or at least showed more of it, and didn’t necessarily switch back and forth quite as often. I definitely needed less of the present timeline toward the end of the book, as I think I liked the book more at the beginning than I did at the end and I’m more frustrated by the present story.
