21-year-old Bianca Bridge is a talented writer, but when a suggestive photo of her and a married government official surfaces, causing public scandal, she finds herself being coerced into a career in modelling. She is later presented with an opportunity to escape the superficiality of her new profession in the form of the callous and prideful Obadiah Cortland (Mr.), an exceptional makeup artist, who offers Bianca a job, editing his company’s magazine. As these opposing personalities spend more time working together, alongside their luminous co-workers, Radhika and Dante, they begin to uncover eye-opening truths about themselves and each other.

McIvor is a resounding, new voice with the fresh take that modern-day Caribbean literature needs. Her debut novel The God of Good Looks is a witty, transformative and ultimately satisfying read. I can’t wait to see what she writes next!
