I could never do this book justice with my limited vocabulary. The pure and beautiful romance and the heart tugging longing this book portrays are so complex and wonderfully executed that my excuse of a review will never encapsulate it all.
This novel is literally a lovely story about war as ghoulish and paradoxical as that may sound. A lovely story about love, friendship and MUSIC!! I just love all the musical references and how passionate our characters were about this form of art <3
Speaking of characters, THEY ARE ALL SO ENDEARING AND THEY MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS!! I love how the two couples came to know each other, i could clearly see the red string of fate pulling them closer! The romance was so adorable and swoon worthy, i mean the sneaky rendezvous in the piano room at midnight, the classical concert dates, PARIS CAFÉ DATES!!!! I was screaming and kicking my feet in the air whenever i reached one of these scenes
This book is your classic “who done it” and features all elements characteristic to the genre. I saw people comparing it to Agatha Christie's novels and while i can see their point, i don't think it's fair to compare the OG classics with this modern remake. Overall I found myself enjoying the book and i was always hungry for more, to put it this way. All the anticipation and suspense surrounding the murder was what determined me to keep on turning the pages, yet I wouldn't say that the plot was mind blowing. Right after i finished it, i initially gave this book 4 stars, but after some time passed, i changed my rating to a 3 star because the more i though about it, the more i found issues that annoyed me lmao
AHHHH THIS WAS PURE PERFECTION!! So whimsical and intriguing!! I was on the edge of my seat for the most part (the other moments were just me squealing at how adorable the romance was
Currently rating this book 5 stars through tears. Absolute masterpiece, i feel like words won't do it justice.
