Zoe Wylde is a woman at a crossroad. Five years ago, she fled her successful career as a concert harpist in London to return to her Bondi home. She still plays, but now her audience is on the way out ... literally. It's complicated and complication is something Zoe understands well. Her best friend is chasing a new love, her brother's chasing too much love and her father has been married far too many times. Compared to them she thought she was doing okay. She's met the guy she is sure is the ONE. He wooed her and has been sleeping with her for almost five years. It would all be perfect ... if he wasn't married.
Zoe is learning that hearts, like harps, are capable of beautiful music if treated the right way and can be tricky to manoeuvre. She's over the old tune. But does Zoe have the courage to rewrite the song of her own life?
THE SONG OF US is a soulful story of family, love and the notes that define our lives by the author of THE SECRET RECIPE FOR SECOND CHANCES.

I think I'd expected JD Barrett's The Song of Us to be pretty light... akin to Zoe Foster Blake's The Wrong Girl or Bridget Jones or similar. But, it was different, with some interesting messages lying beneath the entertaining prose and narrative * Debbish.com *
J.D. Barrett's second novel is a delightful and very moreish rom-com, one that pretty much hits the intended sweet spot between Offspring and Bridget Jones. * Moonee Valley Weekly, Ivanhoe and Valley, South East Weekly Review, Eastern Weekly Review, Stonnington, Melbourne Times Weekly *
