If Andy Warhol Had a Girlfriend by Alison Pace

I usually really like books about women discovering themselves and trying to improve their lives, but this one seemed to lack something-a bit shallow maybe. 'Simmers with a quiet brilliance and polish that will stay in a reader's mind for days.I sort of liked it. Sarah Mlynowski, author of Monkey Business and Bras & Broomsticks 'A funny, snappy, beauty of a read-I loved it.' 'A fresh and beguiling story set in New York's art milieu.Perfectly balancing comic missteps with insights, Pace gets Jane's tricky growth spurt just right.' Kristen Buckley, author of The Parker Grey Show 'A laugh-out-loud look at art fairs, true love, and over-indulged miniature schnauzers. Beth Kendrick, author of Fashionably Late 'Art lovers, dog lovers-even EX-lovers-will love this fun, funny book.' Pam Houston, author of Cowboys Are My Weakness and Sight Hound If Andy Warhol Had a Girlfriend will give hope to the most relationship-weary heart.' 'A funny, feel-good fairy tale set improbably in the high-powered international art world. Jennifer O'Connell, author of Bachelorette #1 and Off the Record 'Alison Pace takes us on a whirlwind transcontinental journey (first class, of course) with a loveable main character who, amid the crazy world of abstract art, discovers a little inspiration of her own.' When you're not laughing your head off, you're in the middle of a remarkably honest and heartfelt story about a woman who has to find love inside herself before she can find it outside.' 'If Andy Warhol Had a Girlfriend is pure, guilt-free pleasure. Jill Kargman, co-author of Wolves in Chic Clothing 'This book is GENIUS! I stayed up all night laughing hyena-style.' 'A poignant and very funny look at the dating life of a fictional New York gal.'

Until, traveling with this alleged genius from London to Rome and beyond, she starts to understand the connection between art and love -and the fact that, in both, perspective is everything. To get through it all, Jane figures she'll be a good sport and keep her critiques to herself. Which could be kind of a problem -since Jane is the one who has to accompany him on a five-month international art fair tour. In fact, as far as she can tell, he's a big fraud and his fifteen minutes of fame should be over by now.

Jane can't seem to put a finger on what exactly is so 'it' about his work. But that was before she started managing a prominent gallery, and long before she met 'it' artist Ian Rhys-Fitzsimmons.
