NOPE!
I DNF at about 4-5 chapters in. Here are the reason.
1. I hate the 'I'm not like the other girls' troupe. The MC is supposed to be a plain jane. Fine, but the author constantly compares her to the women MC hangs out with who are glamorous and have make up/hair/nails done. While I might be a no nail varnish/seldom makeup/almost never hair kinda girl, I'd never sit here and say negative things based SOLELY on their appearance. Not cool!
2. The insta-love was terrible. No chemistry whatsoever.
3. The best friend was so sweet to make sure the MC went places, she was a strong advocate for her art, and she even helped her through a crisis when MC was being super secretive. But all the while, MC judged her best friend as vapid.
4. The men were ASSHOLES.
I couldn't go on.
