Art Boss is the sequel to Piper Perish. I actually have not read Piper Perish but the premise of Art Boss intrigued me. Unfortunately, I just could not get into this novel. I didn't like the format of Piper writing in a journal. It felt a bit disjointed and hard to understand what was happening. The story just didn't engage me and I ended up not finishing the novel.

I would recommend this book to people who enjoy new adult. It was interesting and quick read that I enjoyed.

*i was sent an e arc in exchange for an honest review.* all opinions are my own.
I really did not like this one. From the beginning I disliked Piper. I found her naïve and not relatable at all. Then we met Silas and something about him bothered me instantly. I didn’t like the way he treated Piper at all. The story got gradually better not not my favorite at all. Overall would not recommend unfortunately.

My New York is not your New York. Not my idea, I attribute it to Colson Whitehead. But it is extremely important to consider this theory because the most realistic part of this book was when Silas says to Piper, "You got your New York legs." People who aren't native to NYC do not keep pace when walking and Piper learns to keep up. Things move fast and so do the people. So fast that this book's innocence is really missing part of the key ingredient to adjusting to the pace of Manhattan. For me, this reads as a naive fantasy of the city. It is the kind of story that conjures illusions of what it means to become a New Yorker.
But, still, you do fall in love with Piper Perish and root for her to succeed.
