Reading With Rochelle Weinstein: October Reads

Hello Readers & Friends,

I know. Many of you have had a hard time reading with what’s going on in the world. Same over here. My new novel, WHAT YOU DO TO ME, released during the apocalypse, and I struggled with the grief and joy. But the more I shared about the book, and the reasons for writing it, it became clear that books (and music) are a necessary escape. Now more than ever, we need to lose ourselves inside the pages. Here’s a few to add to your TBR.

WHAT YOU DO TO ME, Rochelle Weinstein

From the bestselling author of This Is Not How It Ends comes a moving novel of two unfinished love stories and the music and lyrics that bring them together.

Journalist Cecilia James is a sucker for a love song. So when she stumbles across a clue to the identity of the muse for one of rock’s greatest, she devotes herself to uncovering the truth, even as her own relationship is falling apart.

While writing an article for Rolling Stone, Cecilia works to reveal the mystery that has intrigued fans and discovers a classic tale of two soulmates separated by fate and circumstance. Rock star Eddie Vee once sang with his soul, dedicating love songs to Sara Friedman, his inspiration and first love. Now, Eddie takes refuge in anonymity, closed off to the past. Sara, too, has distanced herself from their love, moving thousands of miles away to live the life she once railed against. As Eddie and Sara tentatively open up to Cecilia about broken dreams, she struggles to give them a happy ending. In the process, she learns that broken hearts can be healed—even her own.

What You Do To Me is the story of a love song and of the triumph of the heart over the greatest of odds. Even for those who have written off love forever.
