Artist Piper Perish has moved from her hometown of Houston, Texas, to New York City. Her days are spent exploring; her nights are filled with painting. It's her lifelong dream come true.... Except life in the city isn't as glamorous as it looks from afar. Piper's high-pressure work as an assistant to a famous modern artist takes away time from her own art. And Piper's new friend Grace, a budding activist, has Piper beginning to wonder if making great art is really enough.

In a story that stands alone but can be listened to as a companion novel to Piper Perish, acclaimed author Kayla Cagan returns with Piper's powerful and utterly authentic journey of growing up into a strong, independent young woman - as she learns how to make life about art and how to make that art matter.

Art Boss will have listeners asking big questions along with Piper. What is art for? What can art do? And how can a young artist change the world?

Sequel that can fuel the readers creative juices

"New york is everything i thought it would be and nothing i expected"- Piper

I love this book with my entire life, and the author as well. Been reading this since it came out in October. Didn't finish it sooner cause i felt too overwhelmed/depressed to actually pick up any book and read it all the way through. But this baby didn't miss a beat. Everytime that i opened this one up and felt motivated enough to continue, it felt like a soothing balm to my soul. I felt like i could understand/identify with Piper and that just made me smile every time.

Not really necessary to read the first book, Piper Perish, if you don't wish to since your essentially reading somebody's journal. A slice of life kind of thing? But man, do yourself a favor and pick that one up too. Seeing the growth of the main character and how she holds her own and is just such a bad-ass fem is such a pleasure. Liked this one more than the last one, and I'm hoping that's what also happens when the next book comes out!

These are my fresh off finishing this book thoughts. I recieved an ARC copy of this book as a giveaway prize from the author but i just felt like sharing this story and how much i love it/has helped me creatively with the world so i highlighted a few quotes. Annotated a bit and left that ARC at a little free library for someone to pick up and get to love "Piper Paris" *wink, wink*- as much as i do... this is a review of a full finished copy i purchased myself.

ART BOSS for the WIN!

ART BOSS immerses the reader in the sights, sounds, culture, and glamour of the City That Never Sleeps. Cagan perfectly captures the personality of NYC as she weaves Piper through awkward, complicated, and wonderful relationships and challenges. This is the perfect read for artists striving to follow their passions and to create community in this crazy world!

Stuggled not realizing this was a sequel

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2018

I saw this gorgeous cover and the synopsis and was really excited to request this book for Fall reading ... sadly I was disappointed and I could not finish it.

If you don't know, Art Boss is actually a follow up novel to Piper Perish, another book by this author. I didn't realize this until I started writing this review and doing some more research, so that may have been the biggest and first flaw. I found the main character to be pretty flat, I didn't really click with her and I didn't feel the need to keep reading about her experiences. I also felt like I was missing a lot of information.

Since I had no idea that this was a sequel, I didn't know about Piper or her artwork, so when the author jumps right in talking about art pieces she assumes that I know which ones she is talking about (I am guess that was in the first book), but I had no clue and immediately felt lost. I was thinking that it was being kept secretive for a reason, but then the character starts to reproduce them and then I got more information but the full one never came. I made it through a quarter of the book before I gave up, between the lack of information that I felt like I needed, and my lack of connection to the main character I just had to put it down.

I was also feeling some strong anxiety about what was to come in the plot, and while that is normally a good thing for a book to do, since I was not enthralled with the book itself, I felt like I was riling myself up for nothing.

I always feel bad about not finishing a book, but this one just was not for me, maybe if you have read Piper Perish and really enjoyed it this would be a good one for you, either way, I would suggest reading that book first so you have more context if you pick this one up.

A Book for Readers of Any Age

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2018

Piper Perish has arrived in New York City from Houston a fresh-eyed budding artist under contract to a fashion designer and modern artist who wants her to create seven copies of a piece of her work he saw on the Internet. It has been a dream of hers to move to NYC and become the artist she knows she is destined to be. At first, the City is as entrancing as she dreamed it to be. Then her work for the artist begins in earnest and her own art takes a back seat to her duties as one of his assistants.

This is Cagan’s second book. It’s an outstanding read. Piper Perish is a believable character who tells her story in the form of journal entries over the course of her first couple of months after her arrival in NYC. The writing is excellent and Piper is a believable character. This is a book for readers of any age.

Follow your dreams - with art - in NYC!

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2018

Art Boss is a love letter to NYC. This book is definitely a continuation of the first book as it jumps right into the next journal entry of Piper Perish arriving in NYC. The first chapter references Enzo, Kit, and Piper's sister but without much backstory. The book is vibrant with art, being young, finding yourself and making a difference in the world. Piper makes great friends, has some ups and downs, and figures out a way to make a buck in order to stay in New York. I can see this becoming a trilogy.

For millennials

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2019

The novel will appeal to millennials especially those interested in the New York City art world. A young woman (Piper) becomes an intern for a hot shot fashion designer. Her art will be a backdrop to his shows. As time passes she becomes discontented with her situation and decides to venture out on her own. Of course, there is a love interest and at times the book seems much more about her relationships than about her art. Not my cup of tea.

I think a lot of people will really love it.

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2018

The idea of this book really appealed to me but I had a lot of issues getting into this story. I just couldn't connect with the characters or the plot. It could be a it's not you, its me thing with this story. I think a lot of people will really love it.
