The first half of this book is excellent in the exploration of art, why it matters, why we are compelled to create, how it speaks and moves us. The second half, while interesting, fell a bit short for me. Still well worth the read though.

"One of the unexpectedly important things that art can do for us is teach us how to suffer more successfully."

Coffee breaks full of pouring over books and scribbling (and sometimes chocolate)

At first I was very unsure of this book. I didn‘t think I would like it at all. Because the girl in this book owns like eight cats, and I hate cates. But then I got about halfway through the book and she started forming a connection with Jacob and other people at school, and I started loving it. I was so scared that Petula was not going to forgive Jacob for lying to her. But she forgave him and they ended up being happy with each other.

I have only read four chapters of this book so far, but I can already tell Petula and Jacob are going to have a strong connection. I wonder if Petula and Jacob are going to be friends or if they will be more than just friends?
