The God of Good Looks by Breanne Mc Ivor

Thank you @penguinrandom and @BreeMcIvor for letting me review this book. My Review The God of Good Looks has a gorgeous front cover that looks glamorous. This is the first book I have read by Breanne Mc Ivor and I found it to be a Phenomenal read. The story is about Bianca who wants to be a writer and then she meets Obadiah who is a makeup artist and they both go up against Trinidadian society. The chapters are written as diary entries and are from Bianca and Obadiah's point of view that I enjoyed reading. The story has some hard topics, loneliness, anorexic and where they fit into society. The story is written well, and it makes you think about the issues being raised in the book. I found The God of Good looks very easy to get into from the first page and is a different read to what I normally read but I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to read more from Breanne Mc Ivor. 5 stars. Out to buy now. Excellent read. Blurb Bianca Bridge has always dreamt of being a writer. But those dreams are derailed by a scandalous affair that leaves her blacklisted by Trinidadian society. The only work she can get is as a model - a career that would make her much-missed mother turn in her grave, and one she's sure her powerful father disapproves of. Obadiah Cortland, make-up artist and legend in the Trinidadian beauty community is looking for an assistant: one with connections to help his OC Beauty business become the success he's determined it should be. But only a person with no other options would tolerate his legendary rudeness ... When the self-styled God Of Good Looks offers the job to the headstrong Miss Bridge she reluctantly accepts. But as she comes to discover the art behind the make-up artistry she realises she may have been wrong in her ideas about beauty, but also about her own potential to fight back against the Trinidadian elite. And when the cracks begin to show in Obadiah's carefully crafted façade she realises she might just be wrong about him too... Could it be that the man who has made his reputation transforming others, has performed the greatest transformation on himself? Sparkling, big-hearted and life-affirming, The God of Good Looks is novel about prejudice and pride, the masks we wear and the power of second chances. Bio Breanne Mc Ivor is an award-winning writer.
