She also nails the creep factor, and her narrator's high tolerance for it, with foreboding signs that the no-name painter isn't totally welcome there, and that there's more to Carey's story.

I am not an artist and I have no idea what it means to be one. So I enjoyed genuinely peeking into the bohemian-like art world for a while.Our main protagonist stays without a name. She is a thirty-something artist in New York. She is still a nobody although she sold some of her paintings in the past. Now she is about to have her break-through with a new series of paintings. But all this paintings get destroyed in a fire. For some reasons she can’t admit that they are all lost. So she decides to repaint them in an incredible short time without anybody knowing it. Through an old friend she gets an invitation to Pine City, a group of artists who life in a house in the country. This has been her dreams since she started to be an artist. When she was young she witnessed this group performing their art. Their main protagonist was Carey Logan. She was the star and became the hero of out no-name artist. Three years ago Carey Logan committed suicide and Pine City clamed up about that and refuses to talk about her. Now our no-name artist is finally invited into this elusive retreat. But Pine City is a disappointment. It is nothing like she imagined it. And they are still not willing to speak about Carey Logan.This story is really about art. There are very detailed descriptions what out artist needs for her paintings and how she does them. She is not just painting neat little aquarelles. She makes huge thinks with a lot of material. I would have loved to see them. There is also a lot of talk about other artist which art you can google. I enjoyed that but I also skipped some of the crafty details about producing the paintings. It was sometimes a little bit much.It was nice to hangout in this world. The characters are not very multi-dimensional and I found our main character to be whiny and needy. She has obviously the potential but she is full of self-doubt and compares herself to Carey Logan all the time. She lacks the enormous self-esteem every other artist in this book has but takes herself far too serious. There is a lot of telling in this book. Not much happens. For the first half our no-name painter is simply telling us how she got where she is now. Even when she arrives at Pine City she is just painting all the time and yearning for the other members to accept her. Not much action here. Toward the end there is a little twist and you see what Pine City was all about. That was nice but also our artist was a bit tiring with her fixation on unraveling the mystery about Carey. “Fake Like Me†was an entertaining read, a little bit on the slower side but with a compelling subject.
Young female artist, mentor-less and mostly in obscurity, creates large, thick pictures. She doesn’t find a mentor, but an idol. Except for keeping an eye on her idol, whom she measures herself against, she eschews a social life in favor of work. On the cusp of achieving career-changing success, her world comes apart. Without her idol, she works feverishly to produce art on an impossible deadline. Just as her protagonist produces large, thick pictures, Bourland has created a large, thick story that follows Ezra Pound’s famous dictum: make it new. The reader doesn’t have to care a wit about New York’s art scene to thoroughly enjoy this original, rich, and beautifully written novel.
Compelling and well written story that allows the reader an intimate glimpse of an artist at work.
Summary and review, no spoilers.This story is narrated by a young and talented artist born and raised in “backwater†Florida. She was always quirky and different and a talented painter specializing in very large works of art - she was eager to get away from her hometown and on to the dynamic and vibrant art world awaiting her in New York.Near the start of the book, at age 19 in 1996 and now in New York, our narrator meets a legendary group of performers called Pine City. They consist of a small group of five talented and eclectic artists - everyone wants to meet them, every artist wants to be them. Our narrator is besotted. She is especially drawn to Carey Logan, the young woman who is considered the most talented and eccentric of the group.I don’t want to give any spoilers away so to be very brief, something unfortunate happens a few years later that causes our narrator to be among the Pine City group, who are now older and without Carey who committed suicide in 2008. Note that this suicide is not a spoiler - you find this out literally on the first page.As we continues on, our narrator discovers the “secrets†of Pine City, and by the end, there is a wonderful twist worthy of any O. Henry story.I really liked this book. I know very little about the art world and this book was not only interesting in terms of its mystery and plot, but also because I learned a lot.This author shows she has good writing chops:“Somehow it doesn’t matter how old you grow, or how sophisticated you become. The people who impress themselves upon your consciousness at nineteen will never shrink or fade from memory. They will always be just a few steps ahead, and you’ll both hate and worship them for it, because you cannot help but compare yourself. “Whenever I put this book down, I looked forward to picking it back up which is high praise. The story was not only interesting and informative, there is a lot of humor to boot which was greatly appreciated.Recommended.
It’s a real treat these days when I can find a story that truly entertains me and I can not put down. This was one of those books.Ms Bourland is more than competent writer and deft in her story telling, a skill set that used to be the basic kit of any published writer but the rules of writing has clearly loosened up i the last couple of decades so it’s always a rice relief to come across an old school author.Anyhow, the story itself is a lovely farce on the modern art world and the drive to make a statement, make a name and just as importantly make a mint. The real fun is the main character and her drive and fear of being “fake†and her obsession with mysteriously deceased artist Carey Logan. I really enjoyed how the fear of being nothing was tied into the ego of believing you have a bonifide talent. As the protagonist herself muses,â€It is no small thing to be a lifestyle artist. It is a complex and difficult con.†Basically admitting that it is all bogus and that the layers of grease and paint she piles on plywood is a hot mess and that so called years of hard work can be replaced within months. This is no spoiler alert as the real crux of the story, the real star is Carey Logan and the smoke and mirrors that surrounded her long after her death.This was a truly fun ride combining mystery with the social instability of the art world.
