Eight Tuesdays

June Park has spent six years hanging other people's shows and has decided to stop. Her lease ends in December. The last stop on her goodbye tour is a painting she can't get within ten feet of. Theo Brennan manages the gallery. He clears the wall for her. Then Odile Marchetti, seventy-four and closing her doors for good, offers the two of them the last slot in her final class. Eight Tuesdays. Couples only. Neither of them says no. Eight weeks of assignments that ask more than a lie can give. June starts making marks again in a room full of people who think she's someone's girlfriend. Theo, who is good at making rooms work and terrible at wanting anything in them, keeps one panel off the rack. A warm, closed-door romance about the difference between working near art and making it, and what it costs to be seen exactly as you are.
