Jewish Book Council Reviews What You Do To Me

What You Do to Me is a sto­ry of love lost and found, and the ways in which des­tiny and fate con­nect us to one anoth­er. Alter­nat­ing between two per­spec­tives, the nov­el begins in the present day, with Cecil­ia James reflect­ing on her career as a music jour­nal­ist.
