After her affair with a married politician is exposed, Bianca Bridge loses her job, friends, and prospects of becoming a writer. So when a notoriously tyrannical beauty entrepreneur, Obadiah Cortland, offers Bianca a job writing for his magazine, Bianca accepts her new job. Through her new responsibilities, Bianca must find her way to making friends, reconnecting with her estranged father, and embracing her voice.

Alternating between Bianca's diary and Obadiah's narratives, GOOD LOOKS is a heartfelt and witty portrayal of modern Trinidad. Mc Ivor infuses profound observations of its rigid class barriers, patriarchal structures, and colonial past. I adore the sarcastic yet hilarious commentaries on Trinidad culture & politics, especially from Obadiah's perspective.

Usually I find it difficult to sympathize with MCs who have affairs, but Mc Ivor took such gentle care with writing Bianca, I find myself rooting for her, and I love her character development. GOOD LOOKS is the perfect summer read with short chapters infused with lots of love & laughter.
