The Masterpiecers (Masterful #1) By: Olivia Wildenstein Published: April 15, 2016 352 pages Source: Netgalley ARC from publisher ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Nineteen-year-old Ivy Redd’s talent with a needle and thread has earned her a spot on a coveted reality TV art competition set in New York’s Metropolitan Museum. The prize: a significant amount of money and instant acceptance into the Masterpiecers, the school that ensures new artists fame and fortune. Her talent has also thrust her and her twin sister, Aster, into the spotlight.  Not that Aster needed help with becoming a media favorite.

Locked in an Indiana jail to await her trial, Aster watches Ivy on the small TV hanging in the dayroom. It’s the highlight of her day, until she finds out what her sister truly thinks...
