About

The Lake Trip Guest's family and Trey's family are all heading to the lake together for a four-hour drive, where they'll be staying in a cabin for the trip. The group consists of Guest, her younger brother Drew, and their parents, Vanessa and Derek. Joining them are Trey, his younger brother Corey, and their parents, Melissa and Jacob. Everyone has packed their belongings into Derek's SUV, but there's one problem: there aren't enough seats for everyone. The third row only has two seats, while the middle row is already occupied by Trey's parents, Melissa and Jacob, along with Corey. That leaves Derek driving, Vanessa in the passenger seat, Corey, Melissa, and Jacob in the middle row, and Drew and Trey in the third row. That leaves Guest without a seat. Her parents quickly solve the problem by telling Guest that she's going to have to sit on Trey's lap for the entire four-hour drive. Guest immediately protests. She doesn't want anyone to know that she actually doesn't mind the idea of sitting on Trey's lap, especially because she has been secretly crushing on him for the past year. But her parents aren't changing their minds. There simply isn't another open seat. So, reluctantly, Guest climbs into the third row and sits on Trey's lap. Now she's stuck there for the next four hours. And neither Guest nor Trey is exactly easy to ignore. They're both the kind of people everyone notices the second they walk into a room—the type of attractive that makes people wish they could either look like them or be with them. What Guest doesn't know is that Trey has secretly liked her for a long time too. Guest has had feelings for Trey for the past year, but she's never admitted them because she has always believed Trey only sees her as a friend. She kept those feelings to herself even when Trey started dating a girl named Mia. Trey and Mia dated for four months before breaking up two months ago. During those four months, Guest went on two dates with other guys. Neither one went anywhere because she ended up ghosting both of them. She couldn't force herself to be interested in someone else when, deep down, she only wanted Trey. Guest has no idea that Trey feels the same way about her. Now, with four hours trapped together in the back of an SUV—and an entire trip at the lake ahead of them—there's plenty of time for things to change. Maybe somewhere between the drive and their time at the cabin, Guest and Trey will finally stop hiding how they feel and admit the truth to each other.
