This was really enjoyable. It was harder hitting than I thought it was going to be. I honestly forgot what this was about so it was basically a mystery to me. I loved a lot of the topics discussed like grief and family and coming of age as while as sexuality. I really enjoyed the characters even though they were really quirky. I didn’t really love the writing style and how everything was described like it was to arty for me. Which makes sense why because they are artists but it was too much for me at times. Also I didn’t love the age gap of a 16 year old and a 19 year old. They did discuss it but then they just continued on.

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 unexpectedly really loved this so so much. The emotions just pour off of the page. The way the characters are intertwined and the story unfolds to fit it all together is really good. Definitely going into the favourites pile. 

Though I do wish there was more on what Noah was like at 16 and the resolution felt kinda rushed at the end. Was left wanting a little bit more.
