I DNF'd this book at 40% and I am so disappointed. I hate not finishing books even if i'm not enjoying them all that much because I like to give them a fair shot and see it through til end incase they improve but I couldn't make myself stick this one out. 
 From the start up to where I got to, the story was bland and not a lot was happening. I didn't like any of the characters, they had no substance and nothing to draw me to them. I found Ella's constant conversations with a dead artist/painting of a dead artist too weird. If paintings are talking back to you then I think you need to seek some sort of help. I think the author was going for more of a 'oh look how quirky the protagonist is, she has imagined a whole world where she's friends with a dead guy, look how imaginative and funny she is' but it didn't work out that way for me, it was just straight up off-putting. There was too much of it and it's probably the biggest reason I couldn't push through. 
 The way the blurb is worded for the book is incredibly misleading in my opinion. The comparisons to Pretty in Pink and Anna and the French Kissed and words such as 'charming' and 'romantic comedy' were not even close to accurate from where I was sitting but maybe that came later in the book? 
 If you can stick with it and happen to enjoy it then good for you, I just don't think i'll be attempting this story again.
