Phantom
by Kara Badalamenti
dark
inspiring
mysterious
fast-paced
A hauntingly beautiful and sad book that brings the inspiration of Phantom of the Opera to the art world. Big themes of depression and seeking help to keep demons at bay.
Maeve is an art wonder but she feels she's not appreciated until a mysterious Internet commentor (who she later finds is her most loved painter Phantom) gets her art caught by the eye of a prestigious art college. She gets early admission and is quickly a sensation.
Then she actually meets Phantom and they inspire Maeve in so many ways but they also are hiding a very dark past. Maeve will show Phantom what it means to love even in the very darkest parts of life.
The ending is a bit bittersweet, but also makes you should at the very last sentence. The mental health help Maeve recieves helps her to find her true calling in teaching art therapy.
