Interesting concept but a few things felt “off.” It was a social commentary on societal beauty standards, a murder mystery, and a romance all at once. Would have liked a bit more care in the language describing characters who don’t meet societal beauty standards, rather than “ugly” since a message of the book was that society has created a standard that harms everyone.
