I WOULD be honest with the person BECAUSE many of us readers randomly select books we might not otherwise read because the cover attracted us. It's not a question of the fact that YOU don't like the cover, but that the cover has to do the marketing FOR YOU when you are a new author. Most people pass buy new authors, but if you stop and make them look at your cover, you will increase the number of folks who will go further and perhaps buy.
