Good review. I enjoy reading stories where there are several couples or people that have some connection. There is always something to learn from other people’s experiences. I looking forward to reading this book.

Our mindset matters in the stages of life. Some adhere to the rules of nature, while others does not. In all, persistence in your own way of life may at the end make or destroy.

Thanks for the great review.

Interesting story specifically when music is the drive of it I mean creating beauty with Sound I know how I take my time to create that and the way it changes people emotions I like how it was used here different culture and religion but narrow down to the path of bringing people together . Gosh I want a song being played at the background when I'm proposing to my girlfriend it gon' be lovely ain't gonna forget that day it's gon be like a tattoo on my soul. Can't wait to continue reading this awesome book cos it's boosting my passion for music and romance lol

I'm not a fan of Adele, but I do appreciate $ so I don't mind reading this one. actually the very first book I've added on my library after joining OBC, I like the three stories and how they showed that despite differences, there will always be a common ground to stand on. excellent review!

I have had the desire to read this book for so long. The Islamic groups of people who enjoy Adele's music from different parts of the world want to take a trip to Rome for the diva's concert. Their backgrounds and experience make for an interesting read.

Thanks for the great review. Very thorough. This sounds like a great fit for fans of literary fiction and Adele’s music. I like the idea of these different characters from different cultures and different backgrounds all intersecting with this one goal. Of course I mean seeing Adele. I think that the addition of the song lyrics is a terrific idea to add that extra something to the reading experience.

From a sampling, this was an interesting story about people's journeys to go and enjoy Adele's music. This story weaves in characters that are from the Middle East and North Africa and shows that even individuals are from different areas can come together to listen to music. Well Done.

I greatly enjoyed this book. The authors admit to being Adele fans; I am amazed at how they were able to weave her songs into the stories and make both more moving.

The book was initially banned because the agents of Adele didn't give their imprimatur to the use of her name and songs. I am glad that they have reversed their decision. This book is a singular honor to bestow upon Adele. She is an exceptional artist, and the authors are wonderful writers (and adoring fans, too).

I am not sure about this book. I guess some people might like it but it's not my cup of tea. Of course, this is a matter of taste. thank you for your honest review.

I like your review and I am glad that you have had such an insight while reading this book. It is always good when someone of one faith comes to understand the faith of another. I also like that this story features strong female characters who defy the expectations of both society and their religions. I am glad that the grammatical errors did not take away from your enjoyment of this novel.

This one doesn't jump out at me, and it is probably because I am not a fan of Adele. I would pass on this one. Thanks for your review.

Very good review. I was a bit confused as to where the book was going just by reading the sample. Your put it into perspective about what the Adele concept was all about. Thank you.
