i gave this book a five out of five because i don’t think i’ve ever read such a creative book. this author did an amazing job with imagery and metaphors and her style of writing simply captivated me. i truly believe i could talk about this book forever.

the beginning of this book is very cliche YA coming of age, but the emotional turbulence of the plot really sneaks up on you. i love how everything came together and the conclusion is super sweet! if you're looking for an artistic worldview, flawed family relationships, obstacles in queer relationships, and fairly simple prose that is still gorgeous in its own way, this is definitely for you :)

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.

AAA this made me so emotional <3 I really like the kind of book that makes me reflect on the way I live life :') the only thing that made me a bit annoyed was how annoying Jude was for a bit in the middle of the story lol other than that, it was lovely!
