3.5 stars. artists are unbelievably insufferable lmfao.

louisa was a caricature of someone from southern louisiana. preston was my favorite character by far which surprised me. his hypocritical anarchism was so entertaining. i loved richard’s character arc. louisa and karina will never see each other again. louisa will marry that boy that goes to ULL and she’ll be an art teacher in breaux bridge just like her mom even though that’s her worst nightmare. karina felt like the flattest character to me. i don’t have much to say about her

i really enjoyed the discussion of the ethics of art, the moral responsibility of an artist, and what the true delineation of art is. i wish i had read this book before that art philosophy class i took my senior year of college.
