Beauty is not the main thing: Top 3 books about beaty-beast couples

The person you love is always beautiful, even if objectively far from beauty standards.

"Beauty is only skin deep" — There is a popular wisdom, and many local writers agree with it, creating works in which the canonical handsome man falls in love with a girl whose appearance does not meet the common standards of attractiveness. Or vice versa - the one who has no shortage of fans, faithfully loves an unsightly man. Here are three books whose characters have fallen in love not because of their looks.:

"Walking on the roofs" (Natalia Kolesova)

Agatha is the daughter of magicians, and Igor hunts them. Everything would have been fine if he had not fallen in love with Agatha, giving up the idea of destroying the evil mages. However, this feeling is forbidden not only because they have different tasks. Igor is handsome, but Agatha is not a beauty... What attracted him, if not her looks?

"The Count from our school" (Svetlana Lubinetz)

A teenage story about how the first pretty girl in school, Yana, indoctrinated her ugly classmate Tatiana into liking the first handsome boy in their class, Yura. Yana forced the ugly Tanya to ask Yura to dance, so that he, later finding himself in the same company as Yana, switched his attention to the first beauty. But the trouble is that everything did not go according to plan - Yura was fascinated by the pale-faced and overweight Tanya... Was it not beauty that he find attractive in girls, but something else...?

"The beast and the beauty" (Natalia Kotyanova)

A classic fairy tale, turned upside down. Well, or upside down--the reader knows best. The main character of the story did a heroic deed from a man's point of view - he fell in love with a not-so-attractive young lady. Men do love with their eyes. But perhaps at the time of the meeting with her, he perceived information with other senses. Why? It also happens. Not only that, he didn't fall in love only with her. Who else? Better to read the book than spoilers. The pages are the answers to all the questions.
