Read the opening

From chapter 1, "The Tweezers in Her Handbag". Every guide is written like a story, with real research behind it.

Saturday, 10:00am. Adaora's bathroom. A magnifying mirror. Tweezers. Forty-five minutes.

Adaora was an events planner, always polished, always glamorous. What nobody knew was that her polish took forty-five minutes every morning: tweezing dark hairs from her chin and upper lip, covering acne on her jaw, and styling her hair to hide the thinning at her temples. She kept spare tweezers in her handbag, her car and her desk drawer.

She told Amara all of this over coffee at the cake shop, very quietly.

"I have PCOS," she said. "Diagnosed at 22. Irregular periods, the hair, the acne, the weight that will not move. And sometimes, when Chidi touches my face, I flinch. I am scared he will feel the stubble. I have never let him see me in the morning before I do my routine. Three years."

JideChidi asked me how to help Adaora feel beautiful. She has PCOS and hates the hair on her chin.
AmaraShe told me the same thing today. She has never let him see her before her morning routine. Three years.
JideThree years. He has no idea.
AmaraShe is scared.
JideOf what?
AmaraThat he will stop wanting her.
