Everything about this book caught my attention! This includes the book cover, the author and the storyline. I had no idea that I would enjoy reading it so much! It gave me mystery vibes the entire time I was reading it! This thriller book is heartbreaking, full of emotions, twisty and sad. I felt like I was watching a movie while reading it. I would not be surprised if this does turn into a movie! I highly recommend reading it!!

I really wanted to love this fictional mystery thriller book, but it did not deliver. It is a short read and is a very slow burn. I do love the themes of the story, the short chapters, the synopsis and the diverse cast of characters. This is divided in three parts and is written from the female main character’s point of view. It is fast paced and easy to red. This book did not give me thriller vibes, but it did give me mystery and dark vibes. Just because this book wasn’t for me, doesn’t mean it’s not for you! 

“The Gallery” is centered around an art gallery assistant in New York, named Chloe. After an upcoming painter gets murdered, she starts trying to piece together what happened. Chloe starts to feel isolated and has PTSD from the 9/11 events. As the story unfolds, this starts becoming a murder mystery and everyone isn’t to be trusted. Overall, I rate this a 2 out of 5 stars.

Content warnings include violence and murder. I think people that liked watching “Made You Look: A True Story About Fake Art” on Netflix would enjoy reading this!
