We love a fake dating trope, especially when its twist resembles The Amazing Race! And friends to lovers is the dream romance that many of us grew up wishing for. When best friends, Kemp and Violet, pretend to be engaged in order to deter some unwanted stalkerish behavior from Kemp’s snowboarding teammate, he realizes that he may have found the one he’s been searching for in Violet.

Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass
Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass
By Lana Del Rey
Lana Del Rey follows in the same musician/poet footsteps as Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Jewel and Lou Reed. Lana’s music and lyrics evoke images of a saturated Kodachrome photograph, so it would stand to reason that she’d now add “poet” to her artist’s kit. Even without music, her words work their way around you, pulling you into a world that’s not unlike a David Lynch movie.
