Painted Faces

I'm torn with this one. On the one hand, I really liked it. The premise of a girl falling in love with a drag queen is unique and not something that I've ever read before. The writing is decent and kept me interested throughout the story. On the other hand, Freda got on my nerves with her constant slut-shaming. I'd like to read a book for once where the main character isn't so insecure that she has to put down her friends to make herself feel better. Nicholas/Viv also did things that I don't necessarily like to see in my romance novels. He came on a bit too strong at first but I warmed up to him as the story progressed.
