One of the most page turning books I’ve read all year. This novel left me thinking and absolutely had me enchanted. Only thing I would say is that some of the earlier allusions to Nick and Jack being similar in character to one another were a bit heavy handed, but overall this book was amazing. Highly recommend for fans of literature surrounding the art world as well as fans of literature that dissects privilege and identity within the art world/society as a whole.
