Funny, sharp-clawed. New York Times
Enjoyably tart Ganek's portraits of the variously sneaky, ridiculous and pretentious art world denizens are tinged with affection and depth. The tone is sophisticated chick lit, and there's a sweet love story threaded in, but what most clearly animates this debut, and sets it apart, is a real sense that art matters. Publishers Weekly
Ganek offers a witty, intelligent look at a rarefied world for which most of us will never have the necessary entrance fee, and Mia, a would-be artist with bigger dreams than talent, makes a charming tour guide. Christian Science Monitor
"A debut that reads like an amusing fairy tale as it offers a view into a world few readers are likely to have experienced." Booklist"
