I had high hopes for The Ensemble by Aja Gabel. It’s about a quartet of musicians who move in and out of each others’ lives over decades both professionally and personally. But, I didn’t love this one. The storyline was fine and it wasn’t a challenging read, but it fell flat for me. I didn’t love the characters and I couldn’t get lost in the story. It was well-written and, if you know anything about music, you will like it more than I did.
