The Unfinished Symphony of You and Me was another freaking cute book. Sally kind of reminded me of Lizzie McGuire sometimes. Which is probably a weird thing to mention but I mean.. the girl loved to sing, and was good, but only when no one was around. Instead of going to Europe.. she's off to New York. Kind of the same thing, right?
Sally is extremely passionate about her love of music. Just like me, sort of, but with books and wine. So in a way we are basically twinning in life. Now I've never heard opera music in person or on the radio but I don't think I would mind it if I came across it, ya know? It's definitely different than what I'm used to but I'm open to try it.
I know that when my sister studied abroad she took an opera class. She learned about the history and actually got to go see operas too. It was pretty cool that she got the opportunity to do so and I was a bit jealous that I never did. That being said, this book let me dive into that world for a little bit and I'm okay with that (for now).
Back to the book, I loved Sally. She was just so damn lovable and relatable. Even though she is shy and hasn't been able to get over her fears, I loved her. At some point, I knew she was going to get over what happened when she was a kid. I mean, she was young and I feel like that sort of thing is pretty common. I also really liked how her cousin Fiona finally got her to get back on stage.
After that, we get to meet the oh so lovely Julian. Unfortunately, he is Sally's ex-boyfriend but ugh, he was just the best and I loved him so much. So I was all about him being her teacher at this new school because I secretly wanted them back together. Okay, so it wasn't really a secret.
Other than that, this book definitely had some secrets come out and it was filled with a bunch of humor. It was a really cute rom-com that I definitely needed in my life and now I don't know what to do with my life.

I really loved this. I laughed, I cried, I couldn't wait to find out what happened - but I didn't want it to be over at the same time.
