I liked this book so much đ« Nicola Dinan's writing was raw, witty and so real. Some topics were too relatable, but they were handled with care, which I appreciated a lot. I absolutely loved the dialogues and Max's train of thoughts in-between. She's just so cool and quite literally the only character that did not, in fact, disappoint me đ
Docking half a star for the abrupt ending though đ

I learnt today of the artist Piranesi, who must be the namesake of the character, and I thought others may be interested in him too (and if he is, in fact, very well known, please forgive my ignorance) as he surely will have parallels to the character.
The real Piranesi was an archeologist, architect, and artist from the 1700s, most well known for his etchings of ancient Roman monuments. He was most interested in the architecture of these buildings and presented them in great detail. Now a large portion of the monuments he depicted have disappeared - making his work important for viewing Roman history.
I thought this connected well with the character's steadfast desire to catalogue the House and all its statues (and in my head I picture the House as appearing similar to Roman ruins). There are most likely other parallels too, but I do not know much about the artist and I haven't yet finished the book.
Regardless, I thought people would find this interesting - if you notice any other parallels it would be very interesting.
