Ok so I absolutely hated everything about this book except for Finn. A sweeter, more responsible, and mature guy could not be found. Hes amazing and has gone through some shit. He has issues and insecurities but is the sweetest man on the planet. He puts Avery first and does everything to make sure she knows how amazing she is. But Avery? Shes HORRIBLE! I get her body issues and talking down about herself, especially after what Mason did. However, talking bad about every other woman does not make you any better. Every woman was mean. Skinny girls were the devil and the enemy. She literally had no healthy friendships except with Lennox, but even then, she was awful. There wasnt a paragraph that didn't mention how fat she was, how horrible Palmer was being, how Mason is a cheater, or anything negative. Ans honestly, weight wise, she wasnt that big and its a huge insult to most plus size girls. She definitely did not represent well. Finn is the only reason I finished it. I wish Avery would have actually grown instead of being glossed over. There are much better plus size FMC that don't see every woman as an enemy and who have insecurities and show the struggle well.

I really liked this! Avery’s character growth was totally relatable and Finn was the PERFECT book boyfriend. Full stop. Palmer, Mason, and Nora can eat a bag of d*cks.

Less of a book and more like a mirror that gives you a pep talk
At the risk of sounding like one of those recipe sites that make you slough through their life story before getting to the good stuff; Camera Shy really resonated with me. I’m currently staring down the barrel of divorce and, although I know what I have to do, I’m anxious. I’m still anxious, naturally, but after reading this book I’ve gained hope that I’ll find what I need on the other side of this. I can say with confidence now that I’d rather die alone than be with a cheating, lying, wisp of a partner who just brings me down with him.
I got back into reading 76 days ago. This is the 89th book I’ve read and it is by far my favorite. The spiciness is well written, poignant, and inspiring. The same can be said for the plot. It’s a must-read if you’ve ever had a shitty relationship of any nature but been in too deep to see the forest for the trees. It’s a must-read anyway because everyone could use something to remind them to seek out what they deserve and never settle for less.
I hope I’m not laying it on too thick but Kay Cove is a fantastic writer and I hope I’m eventually able to evoke in someone even a fraction of the awakening she has in me.

I loved this book! Was unexpected but I was hooked immediately. Love the body positivity in here but the important message being you can have many people tell you your beautiful but you have to believe it yourself! And that you can move on from a toxic friendship no one should ever treat you less than you deserve. And Finn?! Yes please 🥰 this man is truly swoon worthy! And the slice was spicing ! 🌶️🌶️🌶️
