Description

Seventeen-year-old Julien is a romantic--he loves spending his free time at the museum musing over the great works of the Impressionists. But one night, Julien sees something strange--a peach falls out of a Cezanne and Degas ballerinas dance across the floor. The art reacting to a curse set by Renoir--a curse that trapped a beautiful muse, Clio, in his painting forever. Julien has a chance to free Clio . . . but love is a curse in its own right. Because Julien has fallen for Clio and to save the world's greatest art, Julian must give up the greatest love he's ever known. Perfect for fans of Stephanie Perkins and Gayle Forman, this romantic, suspenseful, and sophisticated novel will enthrall as masterfully as the paintings it features.
