I am finally done. Oh my goodness...
Well, the good thing is that I didn't need to force myself to read it. I actually wanted to know what would happen in the end for some of the characters. That desire surprised me a bit because most of the characters annoyed me a lot. Almost all of them. I think Marli is the most unpleasant character I've ever read about. I know that she wasn't supposed to be pleasant or liked, but it was way over the top for me. Way over. She is a big majority of the reason why I almost didn't make it through the book. I DNF'd this in June, but picked it back up again in September with the idea that the characters would have to develop throughout the book and be more likable in the end. I think I was wrong about that idea.
I gave this book 2 stars because I didn't completely dislike it. It had some rare moments of goodness. (Every situation surrounding Marli and how it was handled is another reason why the rating isn't higher.) It was just not for me, and I don't think I would recommend this book even if the person had an interest in art.
