Status Updates From A Reverie of Roses

Rather romantic

Charming. I like that there is a little more detail and world building than the first book. I really appreciate the glossary. It helps when a book is so short because explanations wouldn’t really fit into the flow of a fast paced narrative

Juniper and Emlyn don’t seem like good friends…

me estaría faltando un poco de romance la verdad, o sea está pero quiero MÁS

me gustan pero necesito un poco más (o irme a dormir)

"I'd hate to be seen and known, and still be found wanting."

Same here, Lis.

"The way she stares at me is almost an art of its own."

oh, okay 🫢

"There she goes again with the fine. I do not want fine, Nora. If I wanted fine, I'd have accepted forty portraits by now. I want something more."

SHE WANTS MORE! GIVE IT TO HER, NORA!!!

"You notice life everywhere, and yet you reflect none of it back."

Lisette sees right through you, Nora. You can stop whatever you are doing and start making the portrait more lively, for goodness sake.

"The way you watch me... show me what you see when you look at me."

Yes, Nora, just paint how she turns you on.

Wait, so you wrote a book about a character that you made us dislike in the first one? I hope you make me like her somehow, because right now I feel nothing but disdain for her.
