Ava, an art major with aspirations of owning her own gallery is struggling with the compulsory statistics class she needs to pass in order to graduate. When her tutor dumps her at the last minute she has no option but to work with Max a fellow student, who also happens to be the nude model from one of her figure drawing classes. Ava’s normally quiet social calendar becomes full when she meets Thomas, the artist who is showing his work in the Gallery she interns at, and he invites her out for dinner.I was kind of hoping to get the ‘wow’ factor, after all that’s how I felt when I read other works by Karen, so she is capable of that, but I didn’t quite get it here. The storyline was a very safe choice, a young ambitious woman, who is attracted to two men until one does something to lose her trust forever and practically throws her into the arms of the other. The dialogue was often awkward and felt forced like it didn’t come naturally to the writer to converse this way. I think as she continues with this genre Karen’s confidence will grow, her writing will become more relaxed and I have no doubt that I will get the ‘wow’ factor from her again in future works.Copy supplied for review
