Veridian Sterling Fakes It by Jennifer Gooch Hummer @wunderkindpr @ LUAuthors #bookreview

Overview

In this colorful and humorous tale, a hopeful young painter finds herself embroiled in the world of art heists…and possibly responsible for the counterfeits needed to cover them up.

Freshly graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design, Veridian Sterling is ready to hang her work in any of the countless New York galleries that are sure to give her a show. The problem is only one will, and they’re not interested in her art so much as her personal assistant skills.

No glitz, no glam, and definitely none of the money she needs to help her struggling mother finally realize her dream of starting her own business after having sacrificed everything for Veri to go to art school. So when she overhears her new boss discussing the impressive finder’s fee for a lost van Gogh, Veri takes matters into her own hands. Maybe her own artwork isn’t celebrated, but she knows how to copy what is, and maybe those skills can help lead to a discovery.

But when a famous art dealer takes her under his wing (and his charming driver takes her interest), Veri realizes she’s in deeper than she expected, and quite possibly with the wrong people. With her mother’s dreams and her own future at stake, Veri will have to pull out every trick she can think of to wipe her canvas clean and erase the mess she’s created before she goes down for someone else’s crimes.

Review

I fell for Veri right from the start. She is struggling to make it as an artist. She has recently graduated from Rhode Island School of design where she won a prestigious award. But, after visiting tons of galleries, she has no chance to get a show. She does eventually get hired as an assistant to an extremely demanding boss. And boy…does this lead her astray!

Veri is such an adorable character. She wants to do right but life just keeps pulling her in a different direction. Enter Tate! Tate is the handsome driver for a famous art dealer. Here is where the fun begins. Veri may just end up committing some crimes if she is not careful.

I enjoyed this funny, tangled and amusing story. Such adorable characters with a bit of a dark side!

Need a good, twisty tale…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.

I received this novel for a honest review.
