Review: How can I like someone who doesn't like themselves?

Overall the story and writing - fine. The heroine of the story is a chef. She's apparently so smart she dumbs down her language to not show-up the other chefs and be mocked for her brain (because apparently all chef's are of no better than average intelligence - and all the other female chefs are lesbians.). She doesn't think she's attractive. She doesn't think she's funny. the only thing she felt confident about and liked about herself was the cooking - and even that was a big disappointment to her parents, leaving her a little ashamed of her career.I understand that people have insecurities, but I really dislike that she's negative about everything. There's even one part of the book when she says her roommate is everything she isn't, pretty, fun, friendly, calm (she makes herself sound bipolar)...If the book had contained the entire story, I probably would have finished, hoping she became a stronger person. As it stands, I'm content to not read more of it.
