All in all an enjoyable fiction loosely based on real historical figures. The art and New York high society themes kept me interested. I felt like the second storyline set in the 1960s didn’t get fully fleshed out and the resolution felt very rushed. The dialogue was also incredibly cheesy at times, but overall an interesting story. 3.5/5
