I don’t know, I guess until Julien discovers some of his abilities he is kind of bland. He’s not even constantly thinking about sexytimes. The jacket copy describes him as a romantic, which okay, I guess if you think instalove is romantic, then yes he is one of those. Now that I think about it, I do not have a ton of things to say about Julien. Unfortunately, there’s a curse and y’all, the art is starting to fade instead of staying put the way that it should. When his mother is able to obtain a rare Renior painting of The Girl In The Garden for the museum, Julien falls fast and hard - for the girl in the painting, a muse named Clio.
So, he sees the Degas dancers, some fruit, all that jazz in the flesh. You see, at night, the paintings come alive, like for real. And so, he does his best in school so that he can go to the museum at night, when everyone has gone home and there are no visitors or tourists. His one talent is being able to do flawless accents. Julien, however, is ordinary in that he is not great at school. His mom is the curator of the Musee D’Orsay. Julien is seventeen and lives in Paris with his parents. If I am being honest, the whole thing was just kind of weird for me. Unfortunately, my friends, I was kind of let down by this book.
While yes, there is a romance, it’s hardly one that will launch ALL OF THE FEELS inside. However, the reality of Whitney’s Starry Nights totally does not match up to my expectations.
At least, that is what I expected upon opening. With a cover like Starry Nights by Daisy Whitney, it would stand to reason that you would open the book and expect an intense, mash their faces together, in your heart forever romance.
