There was so much that I loved about this book. As someone who can carry a lot of insecurities, I felt so empowered while reading “Camera Shy”. Finn was down bad for Avery, and I adored how attentive he was to her needs. I loved her growth through finally accepting herself, and recognizing her worth.
The Queen nickname was too much and sometimes, especially near the end, Avery’s inner dialogue was a bit repetitive. If those were the only issues I had, then it would have been a solid 4 ⭐️ read. Unfortunately, the third act conflict felt like too much. It actually made me think less of their relationship, when up until that point I was kicking my feet in swoony bliss. So for that, I took another 0.5 stars off my final rating.
I did have a good time reading this, and it was exactly what I was looking for regarding a fluffy read. Especially with the body positivity messaging that I took away from the book. I just wish that third act conflict didn’t occur as it truly wasn’t needed to get the same story across.

This book hit close to home. Avery is a smart inteligent woman who flees her home after breaking up with her ex. She's in a journey of self discovery and confidence. It hurt to see so much of the abuse she went through emotionally and mentally because that's something I went through. My confidence was shot to hell due to my ex. I have a fake it til you make it face on and I don't try to let anyone see. Avery is the same. In some ways it gives me hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I want to love myself and become truly confident like Avery does in this book.
i absolutely loved it!
As a big girl who lacks confidence (sometimes) this just made me realize I am a queen! Absolutely Amazing book!

I'll start with this, I didn't finish the book
The premise sounded good but it fell flat in its execution.
Mason and Avery have been together for over 4 years and run a business together. At her 30th birthday dinner Avery is sure Mason is going to propose after she thought she found a ring in their home - going so far as to destroy her birthday cake with her hands looking for the ring. But, when he pulls out the ring, Mason instead breaks up with Avery.
Meanwhile, Finn is a boudoir photographer, who is currently practicing abstinence after a bad break up and a string of flings.
Both characters are at a point in life where they need to find themselves and who they are in and out of relationships. Avery wants to discover who she really is in her own sexuality and strikes up a deal with Finn to teach her… and things get spicy!
Overall, the story ended up.. not great. It all felt like it was trying too hard to be sexy and powerful for women, but ended up feeling cringy and too much, Queen.
