Becoming Lisette (The Queen's Painter) (Volume 1) - Rebecca Glenn

Another one bites the dust.

 

While the writing style isn't bad, there doesn't seem to be much plot. Lisette is a painter (gasp) in 1772 Paris. That is frowned upon. Nobody takes her seriously. That seems to sum up the plot. Minor things happen, but nothing really says "ah! I see now!" 

 

Not to mention, Lisette spends 90% of her time off in her own head. She constantly stands, staring into space. Not paying attention. Ignoring her mother. Daydreaming of painting. Its amazing she wasn't labeled mentally deficient or didn't burn her house down. All that staring. Geez. How did she find time to do anything?
