Review: Kiss Cam

Kiss Cam by Kiara London
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Okay so Kiss Cam is available to read here at Swoon Reads for right now at least. Alright I'm gonna start by saying how much I adored the first half of Kiss Cam, the last half wasn't bad or anything it just started feeling a little tedious after a while but I still loved it, it's the kind of book that can give you a tooth ache that's how sweet it is. So Kiss Cam is about three best friends, two boys, one girl. Juniper, Jasper, and Lenny, (and no they are not in a love triangle) together they run a vlog called Were Vloging Here! Anyway they've been doing this vlog since they were 15, now they're seventeen and their fans have shipped them, there are shippers for Lenny and Juniper, and Lenny and Jasper, but the biggest one is for Juniper and Jasper, Jasiper. So as things like this go, someone said they should kiss on the vlog to prove weather or not they're together, of course they do it, and now because they've given the mouse a cookie they get more and more requests to kiss, they even get a request to do a Kiss Cam. Here's an excerpt.

"Alright, fine. Better now than never—because you know that's not the last of kissing on camera requests we're going to get, right?"

"That's why I want to make sure," he nods and then turns himself completely towards me. "Proper kiss."

"This is not normal," I remind him and he chuckles.

"Have we ever been normal, June?"

I think about this, and well, maybe he's right. The dynamics of our relationship have been irregular since I can remember and we're thrown into weird situations because of our chosen hobby—which is also not normal. I guess this was bound to happen anyway. "Guess not," I say.

"Alright then," he smiles and with that leans forward to capture my lips with his own.

This time it's not a little lip touch. It's leaning completely forward, turning heads so noses don't bump, open mouth kisses but avoiding tongue—because, yeah, that's going too far, and fingers tugging at the back of each other's necks. It's long, longer than anticipated, and I know because soon I don't taste Dr. Pepper on his lips, anymore. I just taste Jasper.

When we finally pull away, I'm startled to find that I actually don't mind kissing him, it's nice and comfortable. And, the best part? I can look him in the eye, fingers trailing down his shirt and say. "Nothing."

He nods with a cheeky smile and replies, "Me too."
