4.25; reread in 2025. I thought both characters were cute, definitely cringey at some parts but a very good story

This is the first book by Kay Cove that I have read. While it took me a few days to read (only because I was busy), it was a decently fast read.
The book starts with our FMC getting dumped and moving to Las Vegas for the summer to house sit as a favor for a friend/client. While there, she befriends her new neighbor, a photographer who specializes in boudoir shoots. Avery, the FMC, struggles a lot with her body as she is portrayed as a curvy girl and Finn, the very fit and hunky MMC, stands by her during her journey to self-love and acceptance.
Avery really learns a lot about herself, her sexuality, her relationships, etc. as the book goes on. Towards the end of the book, I literally let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding (hahaha) as I had the exact experience Avery did with her relationships/friendships. I felt for her in that moment.
We can't exclude the spice. There was everything you could imagine and one of the tropes in this book would be considered "sex coach" so be prepared for all things in that aspect.

This book is INCREDIBLE!! Kay outdid herself. This is a beautiful story that pulled me in. The spice is sublime. And I love the trajectory of the FMC and the MMC. The growth in character did take a long time, but I loved the ending!! Everything was so wonderful!! Thank you kay ♥️

Honestly, this book was so good. It was exactly what I needed after the baby slump I was in.

This story was adorable and sexy and made me laugh and gasp and was just everything needed.

Also had a plus size main character which I LOVE.
