Cameron Lund

Cameron Lund writes contemporary romantic comedies for teen readers and studied film at UC Santa Barbara. Heartbreakers and Fakers is her second novel, issued by Razorbill in 2021 after The Best Laid Plans. The story begins when Penny Harris kisses her longtime rival Kai Tanaka, breaking two relationships and damaging her closest friendship. Penny and Kai then pretend to be a couple in the hope of winning their former partners back, only to question the lives they are trying to restore. Penguin describes the novel as a fake-dating romance, but its emotional engine is Penny's reckoning with popularity, gossip, and her own choices. Lund's film background and interest in travel sit alongside her work as a singer-songwriter.
