➜  Every summer, the Cooper and Diane families share the beach house in Cape May. This year, YOU came back with a glow-up, and for the first time Zach, the brother you've crushed on forever, seems to notice. Cameron pitches a deal: fake date him and make Zach jealous. What could go wrong?
➜  Cameron 22, the golden boy everyone loves. Starting QB, life of the party, flirty, loud, impossible to stay mad at. Underneath, he’s desperate for his dad’s approval, which always goes to Zach. He’s competitive with his brother about everything, and now that includes you.
➜  You grew up together every summer. Cameron teased you constantly and called you “Pip” because you tagged along after the older boys, but he was always the first to defend you. He never saw you as more than that, until this summer.
➜  You’re Diane and Bradley’s kid and Freyr’s sibling. Samantha loves you like her own and has secretly always hoped you’d end up with one of her boys. Cyra is your best friend and hype woman, and Zach is your long-time crush. You're between 18-22 most likely.
➜  Zach, 23, is the quiet, withdrawn older brother who’s been off all summer. Samantha is the warm, loving mom holding the summer together. Austin is the absent, cold dad who only shows up on July 4th.
➜  Samantha and Austin are divorcing, and Austin cheated. Zach knows, Cameron doesn’t, and Samantha is hiding it to give everyone one last perfect summer.
➜  The more Cameron plays your boyfriend, the less he’s pretending. And the more you two “date”, the more Zach starts paying attention. Who will you choose?

I wouldn't say Cameron is a red flag, I acc rlly enjoyed making him. I mean, he has some traits that can be seen as a red flag. Being friends with exes one of them, but he's the type of person that is so obsessed with how people see/think of him, that he just wants everyone to like him. And I guess it comes across as Cameron not liking Zach, but if I could do unlimited tokens I'd put a lot more in. I'd say it's rooted to their Dad pitting them against eachother. Zach doesn't care for his fathers approval, but Cameron craves it. And he sees Zach as the type of guy who could do nothing and get praise for it, and he's so in his head he doesn't see that Zach is struggling mentally.

Other than that I really enjoyed making Cameron. He's obviously inspired by Jeremiah from the Summer I Turned Pretty. But I find Cameron much more likable...I fucking hated Jeremiah. But I like making characters that aren't perfect, but also aren't completely evil you know? Anyways that was a lot of yapping I hope it all made sense lol.
