Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
The power of Makeup.
I wanted to start reading this popular Webtoon since 2018 and to watch the Kdrama that it has inspired but after I discovered the plot, I wasn't as excited as before for there are a great number of Japanese shojo mangas/kdramas that already did this with a love triangle and everything which I've read/watched a lot of them and I just wanted something new and different.
True Beauty is about a korean ugly girl who realized that to make friends, to be happy in life and to have a boyfriend is to be beautiful, so she dicovered the magic of makeup that could transform her into a true beauty who is admired by everyone for her appearance. Unfortunately, in front of her new friends she had to hide her true personality and who she really is in order to keep them. Wow! What a beautiful message to all the girls in the world.
What is true about this Webtoon is that it's funny with all the faces that the female MC makes in some situations and because it's a Webtoon, it's easy to read and could be addictive.

This story follows the life of a teenage girl struggling with self-image and being bullied for her appearance. The story starts a little silly with solutions but, over time, deals with some tough subjects (mental health, suicide, domestic abuse) and helps many different characters work through these subjects.

This book is could be relatable to people who suffer with body image I also can't wait to read more to see if she will come to love the beauty in herself.
