A beautiful book! The cast of characters felt like actual people with flaws and desires. I'm not entirely sure if Preston and Robert were supposed to be foils of one another? I also felt that Robert and Karina paralleled in that desire to be seen and admired by the art world.

I'm definitely going to reread this again one day (it's even a pretty book to look at).

Last thoughts: Preston would like NFTs

make this a movie!!! plz. i wanna see matthew macfadyen as robert, daisy edgar-jones as louisa... i'm not super picky about the rest, but all in all this book made me feel SO many things. i flew through it, but it felt cohesive and the characters felt so raw and real and relatable in the best and worst ways. shoutout to mpls-based author/queen antonia angress for this work of art- literally!
