I learned that I don't care about the art-buying business. I also don't care about the main character of this story, Lacey. I didn't like her, she was cold. I was disappointed because this book was written in a different style from Shopgirl, which I loved, but I wanted to give it a chance. I really wanted to like Lacey; but it just kept getting worse. 
 This story is told from the point of view of Lacey's friend, an art critic guy, so there was some art criticism along with pictures of paintings and "art" dispersed through-out the book. This narrator also detailed the art auction business at Christie's and Sotheby's. All of this did nothing for me. By the end I wanted to see Lacey go down; which I guess she did, but the narrator just tells us about it as an end note.
