New Release: The Best of Adam Sharp

Adam Sharp is a middle-aged contract database architect, living in England. One day he receives an email from a former girlfriend. The first part tells the story of Adam and Angelina. They met while he was working on a three month contract in Austrailia. She was a married actress and they had a short affair. Twenty years later, when she is on her second marriage, she contacts Adam. Adam has to decide if he will follow his heart by returning to Angelina, or stay in England with his partner, Claire. 

Music plays an important part in the novel because Adam and Angelina meet while Adam is playing piano in a bar. At the end of the story, there is a list of all the songs referenced, as well as a link to a Spotify playlist. This was a nice touch that brings the reader into the story. 

This story tugs at the heartstrings with the moving story of Adam’s lost love. There were also major plot twists that I didn’t see coming. This novel is a great follow up to Graeme Simsion’s bestsellers The Rosie Project and The Rosie Effect.
