Synopsis
In Kiss Cam, teen author Kiara London asks, what's a little harmless kissing between friends?
Juniper, Jasper, and Lenny have been friends forever and co-own a vlog channel called WereVloggingHere. Their fans are huge "shippers" who believe that Juniper and Jasper are perfect for each other, and, despite warnings from friends and family, a simple Truth-or-Dare inspired kiss soon spirals out of control into a whole new world of making out and surprise kisses.
Juniper and Jasper's relationship begins to shift. But as fan requests for different "Kiss Cam" segments keep pouring in, Juniper puts her worries aside and convinces herself that it doesn't mean anything. After all, it's just kissing... right?
In this adorably fun, fresh, and modern contemporary romance, a trio of vloggers push the boundaries of their friendship by giving in to fan requests for a "Kiss Cam" segment.
In truth, it’s been a while since I’d read such a light book. I gave it to my sister first, and then she encouraged me to read it too. We had diferring opinions, but one thing we did agree on is that it was SO RELATABLE. So, now, I will present you with an excerpt of this book 🙂
Our viewers have always been rooting for a pair of us to become a couple. Not only are there Jasiper (Jasper and Juniper) and Leniper (Lenny and Juniper) ships, but Jenny (Jasper and Lenny) ships as well. However, the most popular among our viewers is the fictitious romantic relationship between Jasper and me. And anything could set off our viewers, too. If Jasper and I look at each other too long or touch each other too often in a video, the fans of our ship will go crazy.
You guys are such a cute couple!!!
Admit it, you’re a couple!
Why are you hiding your relationship from us?!
The love in their eyes is so obvious!
Jasiper feels!
Sometimes our viewers get carried away. Not all of them are like this, of course. Some people watch our videos simply because we’re entertaining. But it’s the crazy ones who stand out the most.
And it’s not like we ever deny anything happening between us, either. In fact, Jasper and I joke about Jasiper quite often on camera. We think it’s funny that some of our viewers are so invested in our nonexistent relationship. We tease them, which is probably what led up to this somewhat uncalled-for and chicken-worthy date.
I laugh somewhat awkwardly and turn to Jasper for help. “Kiss, huh?”
Jasper looks down at the computer screen to confirm Lenny’s words. “Looks like it.”
My insides knot up further, and I have to hold back a groan while Lenny muffles laughter on the other side of Jasper.
“I mean, it’s just a kiss, right?” Jasper checks, nudging me in the side. “No big deal.”
