Query: Melodramatic Harlequin

I thought I would love this book: it covers a time of art history I am both familiar with and enjoy, it centers around a girl who loves art, and it had romance. I was wrong.The plot is redundant and obvious and the prose cliche. The character's thoughts were full of self pity and self aggrandizement ad nauseam. When "big plot twists" are revealed at the end of the book, all I could think of was, "Oh! please." Even these were cheap and predictable. I found my art history text books on the subject more enjoyable.The only redeeming points were a few well-produced characters and some descriptions of Florence.
