In her wanderings around the gallery, she suddenly spots a man near her sporting a metallic tube. I adored that this is Sophy’s first impression of Mick. It was all brutal planes: the long blade of nose, the sharp jut of bone in cheek and jaw, the thin slashes of brows and lips. While Sophy and her fellow students of the Dunedin Art School were supposed to study and sketch some of the art, Sophy was not-so-secretly sketching Mick.
Mick Hollister is the security guard hired to guard the touring collection. Sophy James is a twenty-something art student on a tour of a gallery hosting the art collection of the Ryland Curry Corporation in Queenstown, New Zealand. While this book is different from the irreverent, wittily sarcastic tone of her Lucy Parker books, it’s so touching, I’m really glad I read it. Elle Pierson also writes as Lucy Parker, whose Act Like It and Pretty Face I loved, so I eagerly picked up Artistic License, a sweet story that moves slowly in layers from a fraught health scare to a tender HEA.
