Caught on Camera
by Chelsea Curto
Friends to lovers is my absolute favorite trope and I think Lacey and Shawn might just be my absolute favorite friends to lovers.
I’ve read plenty of books with this trope (like I said, it’s my favorite) but this one has the best and most natural development. With most, the friends already had feelings for each other, pretending they don’t. What I love about Lacey and Shawn is they DON’T have feelings for each other at the start.
They kiss at a football game after Lacey’s date refuses to on the kiss cam and it just happened to go viral online. So they proposed a fake dating scheme (another one of my favorite tropes). And they still didn’t have feelings for each other.
But after a more frenzied kiss a few weeks later, they realize there’s a physical component to their attraction and what’s the harm in letting loose? But they spend more and more time together and by Christmas, they realize this isn’t fake and it sure as hell isn’t platonic.
Their progression felt natural and I adored that. This all took place over a month and a half and it never felt rushed. It was just them slowly realizing they could want the other in a way they never had.
5/5 stars easily. I would HIGHLY recommend this one!
