At 1:30 in the morning, I finished the last page and found myself crying — crying because this beautiful story was over. Am I supposed to just let these characters go from my life now?

Rochelle B. Weinstein has perfectly woven an intricate, multi-layered story - spanning decades - featuring two tenacious women resolute in creating the lives they want to live, and the fall-out that comes along with that.

Weinstein started with a thought we’ve all had about a favorite song — who IS the muse behind these soulful melodies - and created the perfect novel featuring first loves, forbidden loves, family ties, and second chances. And she created the perfect companion soundtrack to go alongside that.

If you’re a fan of Taylor Jenkins Reid, pick this up. This book is also great for those who’ve loved “Oona Out of Order” by Margarita Montimore, The Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimenez, and Everything After by Jill Santopolo.

Thank you to NetGalley, Lake Union Publishing, and Rochelle B. Weinstein for the advanced copy of the book. All opinions are my own. And my opinion is that you should read this!

My god , THIS BOOK!!! I couldn’t stop turning the pages and simultaneously wanting the story to go on forever. It’s an absolutely beautiful story, about a musician and muse and the journalist trying to uncover the mystery behind a hit song. Definitely one of the best books I’ve read this year.

I always love a book by Rochelle Weinstein. Even better when it has music as a theme. Absolutely loved this book. I thought it was a beautiful story that really drew me in emotionally. This was a nice palate cleanser after reading numerous thrillers this summer. This is an excellent beach read, and I highly recommend it for any lover of women’s fiction drama novels.

A VERY interesting premise. We really got to Cecilia very well during the course of the story as well as characters that we meet in the flashbacks, Sara and Eddie, however I don't think that we got know her boyfriend and I did not quite understand his motives. If his character had been better developed I would have given this book a 4 start rating

A very well-written novel about the junction of 2 women who cross paths accidentally and have their lives changed. Ceceilia is on the staff of Rolling Stone, searching for the big story. she finds it serendipitously when a crying woman leaves an envelope. It is the contents of this envelope that become the catalyst for the rest of this story.

It’s is also the story of Sara, a young Jewish girl who falls in love with a highly unacceptable young man during her visits to Miami. At the center is Eddie Vee a .star who disappears at the height of his career after a frightening incident at his final concert.

All three characters are very likable and the stories totally held my interest. I love the way Feldman used these pages to link the protagonists. I loved Ceceilia’s grit and determination in trying to find the musical genius and his muse as she tried to rebuild her relationships with her father and her boyfriend.

Thank you Netgalley for this charming and winning novel.

Second chance love, finding yourself, perseverance despite past trauma....

I have really enjoyed Rochelle Weinstein's books, but if I am being honest, the first third of this book was hard for me. I thought about putting it down and coming back to it. The multiple POV, the multiple timelines had me questioning what was going on.

But I stuck with it and I am glad I did. It turned out to be a great read that had me turning pages until late so I could see how the story ended.

This story had me desperate to help reconnect a lost love and help strangers find their happily ever after! I loved Weinstein's take on a love story and the way music was so deeply intertwined within the story. It felt so real and I would compare it to Daisy Jones vibes in the best way!

This was full of music titles and ties to the industry. I was hoping it would be a lot like Daisy Jones but to me it wasn't. Weinstein has crafted her own book about love, heartache and self-discovery. Great work here. Kept me intrigued. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Three and a half stars..

I was given an Arc of this book!

This was a beautiful story about love and finding ones self. C's journey was really moving I was fighting back tears on multiple occasions.

I did have a hard time in the beginning with the different time lines but as I got farther in the book it became easier to navigate.

I enjoyed the authors use of music and loved that each chapter has a song to go with it!

If MTV and Hallmark had a baby, this would be it. Rolling Stone journalist Cecelia James is determined to make a name for herself, and at times this pursuit is to the detriment of her own relationships. When a chance encounter with a woman outside the Orange Bowl leads to a lucky break, Cecelia runs with the potential story.

She believes she has found the muse to one of rock-n-roll’s greatest love ballads: “What You Do to Me.” Lead singer and writer Eddie Vee has always claimed the song was not about any one person in particular, but when Cecelia digs into his past, she discovers his first forbidden love Sara Friedman. These star-crossed lovers barely had a chance, as Sara’s mother would not tolerate her daughter being with anyone other than a good Jewish boy. Then tragedy strikes, tearing them apart for years and causing Eddie to go into hiding.

Cecelia has distorted views regarding relationships courtesy of her unorthodox upbringing, but like the great Don Williams she believes in love. She is determined to right her own path while helping Eddie and Sara find their happy ending.

Rochelle B. Weinstein’s What You Do to Me is pure reading pleasure. Cecelia is real and raw and the secondary characters surrounding her are just as enchanting. This one was hard to put down.

Thank you to NetGalley, Lake Union Publishing, and of course the author Rochelle B. Weinstein for the advanced copy of the book. What You Do to Me is out on October 17th. Go ahead and add it to your list. All opinions are my own.

What You Do To Me is a beautiful book about love, Based on the idea of a story behind the song Hey There Delilah with beautiful writing, characters and their backstories. This reminded me a lot of Taylor Jenkins Reed's works such as 'Daisy Jones and The Six' and I think it will be a hit for any fans of her work. Overall a fun and easy read with a hard-headed main character who is incredibly likeable and I really recommend.

Oh my gosh! This book is so wonderful! Told in alternating timelines, from the late ‘70’s, the mid ‘90’s and 2023, the story of a music loving writer searching for the muse of a hugely popular love song. Rich characters and well developed storyline deliver a musical literary masterpiece guaranteed to make you ugly cry. Perfect for fans of Daisy Jones and the Six.

Thanks to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for an ARC of “What You Do to Me,” by Rochelle Weinstein. This author has been one of my favorites since I first read her in 2012. Her ability to write complex characters and make the reader feel deeply keeps me coming back and her latest story is no exception. As is stated in the beginning, the author used “Hey there Delilah” by the Plain White Tees as a spring board into a fictional story behind a fictional #1 song that contains the same lyrics. The story is told in multiple times lines and points of view with a main character, Cecelia James, trying to trace who the muse for the well loved song. The chapters are named for songs about a person such as “Layla,” “Sweet Caroline,” and “Annie’s Song,” to name a few. I won’t say more except that it is a wonderful read as are every single book she has ever written. I highly recommend her as an author, and this book, too.

I absolutely loved this booked! Based loosely on the song “Hey there Delilah” it tells the story of a Rolling Stones writer who gets caught up in finding out the muse behind a song although it’s much more than that! A love story and a story of a torn apart family, this book has it all!

I jumped at the chance to read “What You Do To Me” and I absolutely loved it! This is the first book I have read by the author and it certainly won’t be my last. Ms. Weinstein tugged at my heart from the very first page and her use of song titles as chapter headings was like a trip back in musical time for me. I had to read Eddie and Sara’s story again so I could take in the magical moments of their friendship, budding romance and the way that music would always keep them together. Even though they came from completely different backgrounds, they ignored the naysayers and let their hearts guide them in the right direction. As much as Sara loved her family, she wanted more out of life than being suffocated by her overprotective mother who had already found her the perfect husband.

The stolen moments she spent with Eddie meant the world to her and in her mind she could see a future with him that would be filled with everlasting love, family and beautiful music. Eddie mesmerized her with his hypnotic voice, poignant lyrics and his positive outlook on life. Heartbreak, time and distance may have kept Eddie and Sara apart but there was no denying that their love for each would last a lifetime. Eddie and Sara’s journey spanned many years and miles and with the help of a determined journalist, their song of love would never be forgotten.

I'm struggling to find words to describe just how amazing this book was, the ending had me grasping for tissues. I just found my new favorite love story.
Hey There Delilah, has been a favorite song of mine for years, and when I learned this book was based off the song, and having read the authors previous work, I knew this was going to be a good one.
The characters were so brilliantly portrayed and the story had so much depth and meaning.. loss, love, family; it had it all!

I loved the premise of this book but just really struggled to get into it. It felt disconnected and the characters weren't that relatable. The idea was a good one, but execution didn't work for me.

I'm sorry, but this just wasn't working for me. I really wanted to enjoy it but it was a struggle. I appreciate what the author was trying to do, but it was clunky and needed some more revisions. I didn't finish.
Thanks to the publisher and to NetGalley for the ARC
