Honestly it took a little bit to really get a feel on this book but once it hit the second part I was fully invested with these characters even though I didn’t care for one of them the others pulled their weight in the story. Louisa and Karina I felt were great and bad for each other but I loved the open ending for their relationship with the it’s not a no or a yes just a maybe, I also enjoyed the story of Robert trying to help a young aspiring artist not make the mistakes he did, in the end I’m glad I picked this up and would love to see something more from this author!
