Camera Shy

Product Information

It’s a rally for body positivity, but it’s much more than that, too — it’s about learning to pick yourself, accept your imperfections, cut toxic people out of your life, and cultivate solid and healthy relationships.

Finn was all things , real life boyfriend goals all wrapped up in that " tatted , rough"/bad boy exterior. She finally decided at age thirty to start writing the stories she loves to read and to actually share the novels she poured countless hours, tears, sweat, and coffee into. It’s pretty validating to read a character have similar struggle to yourself so I really appreciated her internal dialogue about her struggles and how Finn was able to be her safe person to talk about those insecurities too.After her ex telling her the reason he wanted to break up was because of her being boring in the bedroom and bad at sex, added to the fact that she’s plus size woman uncomfortable with her body, she feels terrible about herself. Avery and Finn have instant attraction to each other but are initially just friends, until Avery asks him to be her sex coach in exchange for helping him with branding for his business. Nach ein paar Unterhaltungen schließen sie ein Abkommen : Avery hilft Finn, seine Webseite für sein Fotoatelier neu zu gestalten, um mehr Reichweite und neue Kunden zu bekommen, dafür soll Finn sie lehren, dass sie sich und ihren Körper mehr liebt. The strong presence of communication between the main characters made this book even hotter ( like Finn! I absolutely loved the Love, Me and the 303 Series by Kay Cove and when she announced she was looking for ARC readers for her standalone novel, Camera Shy, I freaking RAN to apply.

And second, the bloated overuse of the women against women trope during Avery’s overall body confidence journey. I loved that even through her hardest times she was collected, poised and the queen Finn eventually made her believe she has already been. This reads like self insertion, like it’s everything the author wants for herself which is a massive yikes.The insecurities, the a**hole ex, the PITA (she’s a lot more than this but I don’t want to give anything away) best friend. They have a perfectly content life, own and run a business together, and have been dating for over 4 years. Otherwise I liked the twists and turns I definitely thought Nora was going to be more pyscho but honestly I'm not sure the story needed it once we got the best friend drama which worked so well. I struggled with the negative self-talk and how repetitive it was becoming when she was having so much positive reinforcement to help her through the issues. There is a lot of spice in this book, it is after all focused on Avery asking Finn for sex lessons soooooo it should be expected.
