Another little thing bothering me. When the one guy (no spoilers here!) insults Lillian, he says her nose is too big to be in any artists' studio. What a stupid insult! The real model Lillian is based on was coveted so much by artists because of her Classical features. And what do Classical statues have? BIG NOSES!! Ugh. Insults (in books) are only good when founded in truth. This one was not and it's just not good.

This might just be a *me* thing, but it bothers me that someone whose life's work and passion that is rooted in the art world mispronounced an artist's name (van Gogh). To only include the British pronunciation and American pronunciation fell short to me. There could have definitely been a short description where the character explained how to pronounce van Gogh's name correctly.
