A review by dinoqueenreads
Camera Shy by Kay Cove
3.5
please note that the trigger warnings and topes/themes may contain spoilers
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
HEA: yes
POV: dual 1st person POV
spice: several open-door spicy scenes
TWs: animal death (fish), betrayal, binge drinking, cheating, depression, emotional abuse, emotional cheating, fat shaming, manipulation, mentions of death, misogyny, narcissism, ow drama, public breakup, toxic relationships
Kink CWs: boudoir photography, choking, dirty talk, hair pulling, masturbation, oral, praise, spanking, spit as lube, squirting, stripping, βteach meβ, wet dreams
standalone: book 1 of the Lessons in Love series
final thoughts: this book put me through the emotions ! It was almost perfect for me, and I enjoyed so much of this book. The FMC was relatable and realistic- she struggled with self esteem throughout the book while the MMC worked to build that confidence up.
The MMC was so swoony and near perfect and his cousin was amazing, I canβt wait to see if she gets her own book. I was giggling and kicking my feet loving this story up until this one specific scene that completely ruined my beautiful cinnamon-roll, golden retriever, FMC-obsessed view of the MMC and it was so hard for me to fall back in love with him after it ππ₯΄π¬. I needed to text a book friend for emotional support and after sleeping on it overnight Iβm still mad at him LOL
