A moving and often hilarious novel about an art student struggling to complete (or even begin) a “self-portrait” assignment for a film class.

Joey has a lot on her mind - her sister goes missing, she is broke, she isn’t sure what she wants to do or what is art even. We follow her over the course of one semester while she procrastinates her work on the “self-portrait.”

An enjoyable read, told from Joey’s perspective. Joey will likely be relatable to anyone who has gone to art school while trying to figure out who they are as a person, what they like, what they dislike, and how to make their own way in the world.
