If you're a big art fan, you'll adore this book. Emily, the main character, constantly draws parallels between her life and her favorite artworks, making for a rich tapestry of art references. As an art enthusiast myself, I found enjoyment in this aspect; it took me back to my high school days of delving into art and deciphering its deeper meanings.
This book moved me to tears! Unlike many others that rely on negative or toxic relationships for impact, 'Art of Her Life' portrays mature and beautiful relationships that still pack an emotional punch. The conversations between mother and daughter, lovers, and friends felt incredibly relatable and were filled with quotable moments. The gradual build-up to the ending completely shattered me emotionally, and I loved every moment of it.
