Finally starting this after seeing the Showtime portrayal so many years ago.

At times, the dialogue rambled on unnecessarily, and by then end of the book I seemed to only mildly like Iris and Caspar; the other characters were at different spaces on the spectrum of irritating. I didn't expect this to be Wicked or anything, but I was totally underwhelmed.

Halfway through....my knowledge of art history + my mom's love of tulips is helping me greatly.
