A review by msilkwolfe
The Ensemble by Aja Gabel

3.0

3.5 stars from me for this one. The writing was incredibly beautiful at times, and the idea of a "chosen family" was described so eloquently throughout the book. I loved the focus on music, too. I generally like stories where you grow old with the characters, but I found for this one I wanted a little more to happen. Even though I guess the point wasn't necessarily shocking plot points, but rather the relationships between the quartet members that grew over the years.
