Review: The Girl in the Painting by Max Monroe

Review of The Girl in the Painting by Max Monroe

THE GIRL IN THE PAINTING

At the beginning of The Girl in the Painting, Ansel is an obviously angry man who's lost his sight. That alone is bad enough, but as he's a painter, it's even worse. So his bitterness is understandable. But then a visit to his doctor yields positive information. Cue 4 years later and Ansel is still a moody, broody man, but his vision has returned and he's been painting again and is on the verge of an exhibition of his work. And it's here where Indy sees herself in his painting. She's never met the artist, never even heard of him, so how is she so prominently displayed in his work?!

Guys, I LOVED The Girl in the Painting!! It's quite unlike some of Max Monroe's more recent stories, but it's soooo good! It's kind of angsty and heartbreaking in places, but honestly, Ansel and Indy (love those names!) are perfect together, perfect for each other. I do have to admit I love me some broody men, even if they do get on my nerves, but Ansel's broodiness is particularly attractive when paired with his artist mindset. And the little twist, although I sorta predicted it, is a great device in their story. I love how it moved the whole story forward and made everything make sense. I really cannot say enough great things about TGITP so I'll just leave here - it's a beautiful, slightly angsty, moving story and Indy and Ansel are a fabulous couple. Bravo Max Monroe!!
