Title: Starry Nights
Author: Daisy Whitney
Release Date: September 3rd, 2013
Publisher: Bloomsbury Childrens
Seventeen-year-old Julien is a romantic—he loves spending his free time at the museum poring over the great works of the Impressionists. But one night, a peach falls out of a Cezanne, Degas ballerinas dance across the floor, and Julien is not hallucinating.I love Impressionism. Like, a whole freaking lot. I love cute boys who like art. Especially Impressionism. The plot of this one sounds a little out there, but I like things that are a little out there, don't I? Oh. And I love Impressionism. So that's enough for me to read this one, no matter how out there the book is.
The art is reacting to a curse that trapped a beautiful girl, Clio, in a painting forever. Julien has a chance to free Clio and he can't help but fall in love with her. But love is a curse in its own right. And soon paintings begin to bleed and disappear. Together Julien and Clio must save the world's greatest art . . . at the expense of the greatest love they've ever known.
Like a master painter herself, Daisy Whitney brings inordinate talent and ingenuity to this romantic, suspenseful, and sophisticated new novel. A beautifully decorated package makes it a must-own in print.

I've read this one! It's fairly good, particularly if you like hearing about art. Inventive is probably the word that I'd use to describe it!
