upon rereading (relistening idk) i def agree with my assessment that this book tries to tout itself as being deep when it's as deep as a kiddy pool. the pov of art or the whatever that pov was supposed to be was interesting, yet it definitely was the portion of this book is deep when it's not. i preferred the beginning which was about the fictional characters & their experiences for this exhibit. but then once she introduced the marina & those around her (actual irl people) pov that's when i lost interest bc again like my first review you can't rly know what's going on in someone's head even if they give you their blessing-it's awkward & it doesn't translate well. if i wanted to read more about her, i would rather read a book by her or someone who actually has spent a lot of time with her & gathered the information from HER, not some rando. idk it could have been more interesting bc it did drag near the end.
