Alright. Honesty is the best policy, right? Here I go....the cover of this book is gorgeous. I love that it takes place in the art world. That's all the positive I have.
For the first 180 pages nothing happens. Seriously. It's boring AF. I have a deep love of the art world. I worked in a museum and I have multiple art degrees. The characters are flat pancakes. None are likable, which I realize now having read it, is part of the whole plot. The twist in the end should have blown my mind. It would have had I cared at all what happened to anyone in this book. When the twist(s) do come they aren't fully explained. There are so many questions. The characters motives are completely unclear.
I had such high hopes for this story. Unfortunately, for this reader it just didn't deliver.

I was bummed. :( I expected more.
This is exactly how I feel about this book.
I felt the same way Kristin.
