 4.5 stars for this beautiful, moving story 
 Since I already read and loved L.H. Cosway's other contemporary romance novels I just had to read this one, too. And it didn't take long at all for me to fall in love with Still Life with Strings as well. 
 Jaden is one of the most beautiful people I've read about in a long time - inside and out. She didn't have an easy life so far. She has a past with alcohol and drugs (in fact, she's a recovering alcoholic) and her mom died when she was just 22 years old, leaving Jade the guardian of her three younger siblings, Alec (22), April (17) and Pete (15). She has to work two jobs to keep her little family above water all the while keeping her siblings out of trouble. She bartends at a concert hall but also perfomances as a living statue in one of Dublin's most busy shopping streets. 
 And this is where she meets Shane Arthur. The handsome and slightly awkward new violinist of the concert hall's house orchester turns Jades life upside down. They hit it off right away and what should have been a short fling becomes a rather complicated friendship full of tension - and I loved every second of it. 
 Both Jade and Shane are broken but that's what made them and their budding relationship so beautiful in my eyes. They come from two very different worlds but both have been dealt shit deals in life in their own rights. And both somehow came out on the other side as these awesome, great people. Shane is one of the sweetest and most passionate book guys I've met in a long time. And Jade has such a beautiful mind and imagination, I just had to fall in love with her a little, as well :P 
 Jade and Shane's stories is one of heartbreak and healing, love, life, coincidence and maybe even destiny and I wouldn't change a thing about it
