I did not expect that I will like so many books about art. And even if it's just this book containing words it was so easy to be able to see how exactly the art mentioned in the book will look like. The story is great, maybe a bit so much happens in one go like in the books but still it was an amazing story about finding yourself again and finally facing who you want to be and accepting that maybe not everyone will like who you are but the right people will always love you for an exactly imperfect version of yourself.

I read this book to come out of a reading slump and oh boi, did it help. I think I knew what I was getting into when I started it - turns out I was wrong, luckily I guess. It seems like a love story at first and it is, but not how you‘d imagine it to be. While the romantic relationships play an important part for the plot and are very well done but actually it is about the love between twins who lose and find each other several times over the years. It’s got some great life lessons, inspirations and is generally a very well rounded , enjoyable story.
