Romance and drama, music and medicine (3.5 stars)
This book is mostly predictable with few surprises in the plot but was still fun to read. There's plenty of humor and loads of drama both inside and outside of the hospital setting. The details about medicine and music are accessible for the layman and both professions are depicted with unvarnished realism and make for fascinating reading. The characters, particularly the mains, are given enough varied scenes to showcase their personalities as well as how their individual pasts have impacted and continue to impact their current lives. It has a nice ending so if you want an easy read with romance, drama and humor this might fit the bill. I enjoyed the book except for a few odd wording choices and changes of pace in the course of the plotlines unfolding, both of which took me out of the flow of the story temporarily.
