Falling for the dance captain was never part of the plan... Cami Simpson is the ‘it girl’—at least until a string of terrible decisions leads to no boyfriend, no captainship of the dance team, and no fancy apartment. Due to a mold outbreak at her place, she’s forced to relocate to a co-ed dorm as a senior. And to top it off, she finds out she’s at risk of not graduating due to an error in her schedule. Talk about the worst senior year ever. Frederick Brady the IV would never admit the massive crush he once had on the dance darling. Not to anyone. They’d almost had a moment a year ago, but she crushed him, so she’s the last person he wants to live next to. It doesn’t matter though. He’s on his way out to an internship and almost done with school where he can leave his heartbreak and data foes behind. Neither expected to form a friendship or know what to do about their insane chemistry. With late nights, insides jokes, and the rare comfort they find in each other… lines blur, and the popular girl gets with the nerdy guy. Only, Freddie’s done this before and knows how it ends. His insecurities clash with Cami’s need to be picked first, so when Freddie has to choose where to attend his internship, he can either pick the job or the girl. And for the guy who’s set on protecting his heart, well, he might break hers in the process.

From the Top is an enemies to friends to lovers, slow burn, forced proximity romance by Jaqueline Snowe.
Cami Simpson has a reputation for being an ice queen, a party girl and overall kind of a ditz. But underneath the shell she shows to the world, she is none of those things. She's unsure of herself and feels like she never comes first to anyone. And she's having a run of bad luck - she's passed over for dance captain, her dream apartment has mold and she's missing classes she needs in order to graduate.
Frederick Brady the IV, known to his friends as Freddie, is completely the opposite of Cami. He's serious, always has a plan and likes relationships. He finds himself living next door to Cami and she shakes up his whole world.
I loved both of these characters and watching the chemistry grow between the two of them. This is a slow-burn so there are times where you just want to scream at both of them. I especially love Freddie's sorting of the Skittles (and the way he does it) because I do EXACTLY the same thing.
