Synopsis:
Winning a scholarship to California’s most prestigious art school seems
like a fairy tale ending to Sabine Reye’s awful senior year. After
losing both her mother and her home, Sabine longs for a place where she
belongs.
But the cutthroat world of visual arts is nothing like what Sabine had
imagined. Colin Krell, the renowned faculty member whom she had hoped
would mentor her, seems to take merciless delight in tearing down her
best work—and warns her that she’ll lose the merit-based award if she
doesn’t improve.
Desperate and humiliated, Sabine doesn’t know where to turn. Then she
meets Adam, a grad student who understands better than anyone the
pressures of art school. He even helps Sabine get insight on Krell by
showing her the modern master’s work in progress, a portrait that’s sold
for a million dollars sight unseen.
Sabine is enthralled by the portrait; within those swirling, colorful
layers of paint is the key to winning her inscrutable teacher’s
approval. Krell did advise her to improve her craft by copying a
painting she connects with . . . but what would he think of Sabine
secretly painting her own version of his masterpiece? And what should
she do when she accidentally becomes party to a crime so well -plotted
that no one knows about it but her?
Complex and utterly original, What I Want You to See is a gripping tale of deception, attraction, and moral ambiguity.
