Piper Perish (Piper Perish #1)
Who are you now?
Piper Perish inhales air and exhales art. The sooner she and her best friends Enzo and Kit can get out of Houston and get into art school in New York City, the better. It’s been Piper’s dream her whole life, and now that senior year is halfway over, she’s never felt more ready.
Who will you become?
But in the final months before graduation, life’s got Piper a little more breathless. Things are weird with Kit and awful with Enzo; art school is looking increasingly impossible; three different guys have each claimed a different piece of Piper’s heart; and Piper’s sister’s tyrannical mental state seems to thwart every attempt at happiness for the Perish family. Piper’s art just might be enough to get her out. But is she strong enough—and brave enough—to seize that power, even if it means giving up what she’s always known?
Be now. Then be bow. Be now, now, now.
2/5So... this was disappointing.I was very excited to read this book! Art+books= totally my thing!But this book wasn't. The bond between the Perish sisters seemed very unrealistic! Like someone on here also said, they seemed to hate each other for no reason! Marli, the sister suddenly yells at Piper and Piper yells back and then cries a couple of pages later.The parents also seemed to have a clear preference for their daughter Piper, which I found odd. Yes, Marli was a brat, but I assume that
Ready for Art Boss!
A couple of lovely quotes:I love painting. I love drawing. Im never let down, even when the picture isnt exactly what I want. I can keep working on it. Paintings speak back. They argue. But its just because they still want attention. They arent done yet. They want to keep the relationships alive. And when they break your heart, its only because theyre that good, not because theyre bad. Bad art can be fixed or transformed. But bad people? Bad choices? I think theyre with us forever.And:Art is the
Ok I'm sorry I really tried. DNF @ 42%. It is very very rare that I DNF a book, so I have some things to say aha. I don't mean to be so harsh but, like I said, it takes a lot for me to DNF a book...**Rant Ahead**This ARC is seriously stunning and the concept sounding so great and promising. But, unfortunately, this book. Drove. Me. Insane. Oh dear god. The cliches in this book were ridiculous. I'm not even go into that one. It was completely unrealistic. I WANTED TO PUNCH HALF THE CHARACTERS IN
Picked this up at the bookstore randomly because of the cover and it was really enjoyable! It was so different from other books I've read recently and the journal-style writing made it a fast read!

I really wanted to like this book. Not just because I've had a great record with loving YA novels published by Chronicle Books. Not just because I share a fantastic first name with the author. It sounded so interesting, like nothing I'd ever read before. Unfortunately, there were more frustrations in this novel than anything else, and it left me with nothing unique to hold onto. It's the kind of book where the plot will grow fuzzy a few days from now.Piper Perish is about just that: A girl named2/5So... this was disappointing.I was very excited to read this book!
