Emily's Blue Period by Cathleen Daly

4.0

This was so thoughtful and lovely while handling some less than lovely topics! Emily is interested in art- especially Picasso. The story provides some details on Picasso's life while incorporating it into Emily's life story. Emily's parents are divorcing so life feels a little mixed up for her- sort of like a Picasso painting. The ending just...my heart broke a little (in a good way). I liked that the topic of divorce was handled rather well and it never felt over the top sad- divorce is sad, absolutely, but truly happy marriages don't tend to end in divorce.
