Looking for a book about an average or unattractive woman
I’d like to read a book where one of the main characters is an average or even below average looking woman. Bonus points if she dates or has a romantic life of some kind.
Elenor Ophelia is completely fine is a fun one, she’s a bit odd.

The sidekick detective in the Inspector Lynley books by Elizabeth George is kind of unkempt and unattractive. Also, the main character in The Signature of All Things, by Elizabeth Gilbert is also unattractive, but very intelligent.

The author Elly Griffiths has a series of books surrounding the main character Ruth Galloway, the first one is The Crossing Places. They’re mystery/crime genre so idk if that’s what you’re looking for but Ruth is not a stunner and considered overweight. She’s an archeologist who gets pulled into cases because of her expertise and has several love interests throughout the series.

Proper English by KJ Charles. It’s a WW romance/mystery featuring a slightly masc, non-typically-attractive main character.
