Summary
“Mary’s guilty pleasure has always been romantic ballads. But she flips the station when the melancholy songs come on. The happy ones, with their bubbling lyrics and soaring choruses, painfully remind her of what she once had - but the sad ones needle her where it hurts the most, with their mournful turn of phrase and minor key. They resurrect the feelings she’s attempted to bury deep within.”
Mary broke her engagement to Matthew a few years ago, and she subsequently fled to London to banish the memories of him and to move on. As she approaches thirty, she delves into the memories and the regrets she has with him and vows to make peace with herself - and with him.

Summary
Beyond the majestic façade of the Paris Opera House, there lies a world of secrets and intrigue…
More widely known as the Phantom of the Opera or O.G., Erik is a deformed musical genius who lives a miserable existence of isolation beneath the opera house. Christine is a grief-stricken newcomer to Paris who sings in the Opera’s chorus while dreaming of being the lead soprano. Raoul is an aristocratic Naval officer, a romantic patron of the arts living in his elder brother’s shadow. Charlotte is the newly married Vicomtesse de Chagny, a woman has everything she wants at the tip of her fingers but is missing the thing she most desires - her husband’s love. And soon, these four vastly different people will irrevocably cross paths in what will become one of the most discussed disasters in Parisian history — a tale of love, deceit, music, and murder.
A retelling that is based on the Lloyd Webber musical with some elements from Leroux.
