A Kiss For The Cameras by Olivia Jaymes
4.0
A romance novel that encourages healthy emotional interactions? How novel!
I seriously love that this book focuses on the characters building a healthy relationship. They call each other on their crap and work to improve it. They both make mistakes, because people do, but they don't let it slide. The author chooses not to fall into the damaging tropes of controlling behavior being "romantic". I wish more authors would follow her example.
This isn't great literature, and the characters didn't make me fall in love with them, but I did care about them and their interplay frequently made me laugh. Even with the flaws in the writing, this is one of the best romance novels I've read in a long time simply because it didn't continue to spread the damaging tripe that seems to fill most books in the genre.
