"Perfectly written. Although the author never finished unlocking her and his personality it gave the book a mysterious flair and kept me wanting to know more. Probably the best book I’ve ever read with its impeccable word choice and aligned plot. Turning one of the worlds Best known paintings into a novel. Truly the best way to tell the story of an emotional yet not physical affair. It left me in awe. "
