Starry Nights by Daisy Whitney

I had high hopes for this one since I love books set in faraway cities like Paris, but it just didn't work for me. Here's why:
1) The Parisian setting fell flat. When I read a book about Paris, I want to feel like I'm there. But I didn't feel the magic of the city. I didn't even feel the magic of the Louvre and Orsay museums, which is where most of the story takes place.
2) Clio and Julien's relationship. I didn't get it. There was no spark. In fact, I'd like to be so bold as to say I felt more between Julien and Emilie than Julien and Clio.
3) The whole art coming to life thing. I was buying it in the beginning, but then it just got weird and confusing once the Renoir curse and Muses came into it.
