I'm going to come right out with it and let you guys know that this book was just not for me. I was originally sucked in by the cute cover and the idea of a YA mystery book meets Night at the Museum but for me it just didn't work. I'll explain my reasons below but I also believe that there are peopl...
Rating: 2 Stars/DNFWhere to begin with Starry Nights? From the beginning itself, the narration struck me as off and as the novel progressed, I was unable to connect with the story. Unlike Whitney’s last book, When You Were Here, her latest is devoid of much emotion. I was unable to become emotionall...
Okay, I'll admit right off that magical realism is not usually for me, unless it's an element in a children's book. In YA and adult books, I usually find it too weird and trippy. Yes, I know that adults need magic too. Feel free to lecture me about this in the comments if you want.So … the magical r...
Starry Nights, Daisy Whitney's first non-contemporary book, kind of let me down. I was expecting the amazing writing, setting, and story from Daisy Whitney's previous books and I just didn't get that.

But it sounded a lot like Night at the Museum, a movie I really enjoyed, so I looked forward to reading...

Read This Review & More @ Ageless Pages Reviews! I really wanted to love this novel. It has all the things that ostensibly, I should love: Paris? Paintings that come alive? Some interesting uses of mythology? A feminist twist? An author that has been garnering more and more acclaim and attention? ...
I struggled through most of it. It felt like an art history lecture instead of a plot line. I didn't fall in love with Paris or the museums like I was hoping for.**Thank you to NetGalley for providing the arc in exchange for an honest review**
DNF after about 50 pages.This has the potential to be a great novel about art, life, and how the two intersect in the heart of Paris (with plentiful helpings of magical realism!), but even if I showed the book to a fishing emporium and showed it exactly what would be most effective, I have a feeling...
