Kay Cove does it again with another fantastic book in the Lessons in Love series.
If you love an age gap (10 years), billionaire boss, workplace, slow burn romance, this one's for you!
Our FMC, Spencer, is juggling a lot in life - she's recently become the caretaker of her younger sister, they've moved across the country for Spencer's job, all the while Spencer is still trying her best to heal from her own past traumas. To make matters more difficult, Spencer's new billionaire boss, Nathan, is an absolute "bosshole", as she so kindly labels him. His attitude with her is so hot and cold, and absolutely infuriating. But Spencer needs this job to take care of herself and her little sister. So she's dead set on proving Nathan wrong and showing him that she can handle this job and his ridiculous demands. But somewhere along the lines, the bickering and fighting starts to feel like foreplay, and Spencer certainly cannot fall for her boss...
Kay writes some of my favorite body positivity romance! Her FMCs come out stronger and more confident, and her MMCs are brought to their knees by the women they love. Kay handles the difficult topics of self love and troubles with body image with the utmost care, which is one of the reasons I adore the Lessons in Love series so much.
Selfie also has a great plot/backstory to fuel everything that was going on. Not to mention, we got to catch up with our favorite characters from the previous two books, which I loved!
Read Selfie if you like:

Thank you so much to Kay for my eARC!
Small critique:
The reason this wasn't 5 stars for me personally was I didn't always feel the greatest connection between Spencer and Nathan. There were also moments that felt out of character for the two of them with some of the dialogue. Additionally, I'm unsure if this is just with the ARC copy, but I think there needs to be some TWs at the beginning for readers (I was not personally triggered, but to protect the mental health of others, I think there needed to be some beta/sensitivity reading to point out potential triggers).
