**FAIR WARNING: YOU WILL HAVE TO BE PATIENT WITH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT IS THERE, AND WORTH THE READ. IF YOU ARE OVERLY SENSITIVE, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK* Logan Pierce and Noah Locke are sworn enemies. Both at the top of their class, holding themselves to the highest standards; both captains of their volleyball teams, Logan as the girls captain, Noah as the boys; and both constantly playing seemingly harmless pranks to get back at one another. Or, at least, they're usually harmless... If one thing is true, Noah Locke and Logan Pierce are not friends. But does that mean they could never be friends? Or transcend their title as enemies? Logan might take things too far sometimes, but there's a reason behind the angry front she puts on, and in order to get behind it, someone needs to show her that there's more to life than being the best at everything. Cue Noah Locke. When the two volleyball teams are sent away to a team bonding camp for a week over Fall break, Logan and Noah must learn to get along for the sake of their teams. Partnered up and made to do activities together and bond, the goal is for Noah and Logan to stop this ongoing feud. And when something happens at the bonding camp that brings Logan's vulnerable side up to bat, Noah is the one who has to bring her back. While Logan and Noah explore something other than hatred for one another, there are secrets and people who could be working in toll to bring them apart. But will they be able to transcend those factors and stop fighting for once? Or were they destined to be enemies forever? "Better Than You" challenges the idea that enemies have to stay enemies forever, and proves that if you don't run away from love, you may just find where you were meant to be.

The prisons are full. What better way to kill the prisoners than create a game where they compete for freedom? A girl meets a group of people that support each other through every hardship. When one suddenly dies, what happens to the rest?

"I DON'T EVEN LIKE HEROES! I FUCKING HATE THEM!" ----------------------------- In an odd sense, justice and love have very weird aspects of them that the other can relate to, while simultaneously having nothing in common with each other; One is a decision made out of choice, while one is an involuntary push of emotions. They can be given to people who never deserved it, yet taken away from those who need it the most. One is made from hard evidence and facts, while one is made from tender memories that are forever remembered. They can be the source of your misery, yet can beome the very thing thay can heal you. Just like him; she's robbed of an environment that should've been her safe space. Just like him; she's striving for something that could make or break her future.

But unlike all of them, she sporadically decides to become the very thing she loathes on a whim during her last year of middle school because of reasons she dares not to share.
