serafaeryjust saw this on one of my subreddits (suggestmeabook to be specific) and i really liked it.
I want books about unattractive people who aren’t suffering because of their appearance and are able to form healthy relationships with others.
If you haven’t guessed by the title, I’ve been dealing with a lot of self-esteem issues relating to my appearance as of late and I could REALLY use a book where the main character is ugly but isn’t consumed by negativity and/or learns how to deal with their own insecurity.
No, I don’t want a book where the plain, nerdy heroine gets a dramatic makeover and transforms into a social butterfly. No, I don't want a book where an extremely attractive person falls for the outcast main character for an unexplained reason and it magically fixes all of their life problems. I just want books where ugly people are allowed to exist as they are and live happy lives. I hope this isn’t too much to ask lol.
