As someone who loves historical fiction and art/art history, I was really looking forward to this book! Sadly the writing style just didn’t click for me. I was often very bored and didn’t find myself caring about the characters. The beginning of the novel is mostly just a romance, which is fine, but it’s not why I wanted to read this book and I didn’t find it compelling enough to continue (I really wanted to like it but it took too long to get to the saving art portions). I DNFd at about 50 pages but clearly other people love the novel so just a me issue
