He has a passion for art, and suddenly that turns into a real love when he meets Clio. He struggles with his grades and works at the museum giving tours. Firstly, Julien is very relatable and "human", if you will, his emotions are mixed just like any teenager. This book sucks you in to the streets of Paris and right into Julien's shoes.
