No oil painting

 -Genevieve Marenghi 

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher/author for providing me with this arc. 

No oil painting  has the most interesting and slightly comedic premise, yet the execution for me didn't quite come up to par with what I expected. The writing is okay, and even great at some places, however it does see to drone on and on in some areas making it hard to follow the story and fully immerse yourself in the read. 

I will however say that I loved the characters and felt that they were very well done. The inner monologue also provided some quick comedic relief between scenes in the book. I also love the cover of the book and find it very intriguing. I would recommend the author in future try and edit their scenes more so that it doesn't seem so boring at some points and is as engaging as it can be.

In summary I wouldn't dissuade anyone from reading the book, since it was so nice and cute. It was okay but it could have been great.
