My Favorite Masterpiece

'My Favorite Masterpiece' is a novel written by Eleanor Elaine Daley. This is her debut novel, which tackles heavy topics such as anxiety, grief, heartbreak, and medical issues. 'My Favorite Masterpiece' follows high schooler Becca Driscoll, an aspiring musician who lives only with her mother, as her sister has recently begun attending cosmetology school. Becca faces many social challenges in school while also dealing with a life-altering issue that has occurred for her close aunt, Jannitt, who needs medical assistance after awakening from a coma. During Becca's trying times, she meets a boy her age named Jace, an artist hopeful to have a career in painting. Jace has lived with his grandparents ever since his mother ran away when he was eight years old and his father died in a car accident on his return from the Navy. Jace loves his grandparents, but the only issue is that they are very disapproving of his artistry after his grandfather's similar dreams came to a halting stop. When Becca and Jace both find themselves in a battle between their own minds, ambitions, and the people they love most, they take it upon themselves to work together and figure out if dreams are worth chasing and if mistakes and broken hearts are mendable.
