The God of Good Looks feels like life in the Caribbean and maybe even the world.  A talented young lady - Bianca Bridge, with an amazing future comes upon a powerful man, in this case a minister, and before you know it, her life is ruined and de whole country is talking about her.  Bianca has to figure out how to get out of this so when Obadiah Cortland, MUA (make up artist) offers her a chance to do what she loves, she takes it.  What Bianca doesn’t know is that sometimes not everyone has your best interest at heart. 

Obadiah has had to fight all his life for what he wants and when he sees “Daddy’s girl” Bianca struggling, he figured he’d make use of her talent and remind Bianca of how the country sees her. As these two work together they are both surprised at the life lived by the other person and what is possible for their future.

This one is living rent free in mind foreverrrrrr!!! I am so glad I listened to the audiobook and I would like to pause and recognise the amazing work of narrators Varia Willams and Alexis Rodney 👏🏾👏🏾

McIvor gave us an unforgettable story while packing it just right and full of issues faced by Caribbean people daily:
🥥 A minister doing little to nothing
🥥 A beautiful young lady with issues with her father
🥥 Loss of a mother
🥥 Horning/cheating
🥥 Hard times/poverty
🥥 Gossip/talk of the town
🥥 Insecurities
🥥 Scars from life
🥥 Life goals

I recommend you listen/read The God of Good Looks - it’s a story you will enjoy.
