"Make Him Look Good" -Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez (2006)
Something I really like about the writing style in this author's books is her voice. It is a bit cumbersome to read, but she has one that is undeniably unique, that pronounces a sense of ownership over the things she writes. Unfortunately, that same voice is also somewhat annoying. I think this book was interesting, and I appreciate the way that she wove a whole slew of seemingly unrelated characters together, with changing viewpoints and narration (something that also seems to be her style) but the book still felt far too superficial. Like the last book of hers I read, the plot was shallow and unrealistic, and too much of the description involves the author talking about fashion - this brand outfit in that colour shirt with this kind of accessory. Frankly, it's kind of boring, like name-dropping for the chic. Again, not a bad book overall, but not something I'd read and reread.
