this isn\'t really a trope, its more of an Audience Reaction thing. Willing Suspension is what the audience does, not what the characters do (unless they\'re watching something) Whether it fits a given viewer is of course YMMV, especially considering there are plenty of people like Eliza who get by on their looks and not actual social skills.


* AllTheOtherReindeer: As a teenager Eliza was dislike for being ugly. She was even called the ugliest in her graduating class.

* WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief: Averted by the whole premise. One would think with Eliza's carefully curated fashion sense, changing herself from a high school outcase to an AlphaBitch, being a top salesperson, and ability to attract more than a hundred thousand social media followers without already being a celebrity -- all feats that require paying attention to what other people think -- she wouldn't need to be taught the basics of social skills, and would at least know how to go through the motions whether she was truly interested in others or not.

Of course, Henry isn't perfect himself-if Eliza has loose morals, he's too uptight, and while he starts out trying to help her, she might be helping him just as much. Also starring David Harewood as the head of Eliza and Henry's company, and Allyn Rachel as Eliza's "hipster-crite" neighbor and reluctant friend Bryn.
