The premise of this book was a lot of fun and rather unique. I thought it was cool how Camille could step into the world of paintings, that is rather interesting to me and I kept thinking about all the paitnings I’d like to step into. Of course for me, most of them were either on the country side or by the beach, because I just want to relax! Camille turned her ability into an interesting career and is now working as an auctioneer for art. Because of the fantasy / magical realism elements, my mind would often wander, not necessarily for bad reasons, but I just couldn’t help but imagine what this would be like in the “real” world. It did become a little distracting to me, but eventually I finished the book and ended up enjoying it. The main character was fairly unlikeable, and despite wanting to connect with her, I just couldn’t. But again, I felt a connection to the plot so that kept me going and I was rooting for her no matter how much I disliked her. It was an interesting tug-of-war with my emotions throughout. Because of how this book made me feel, I did take a little longer than my norm to finish it and completed it over the course of a few days as I couldn’t read more than an hour or so at a time.

I do recommend this book to those who love art and magical realism, this one is sure to play with your emotions!
