"Everyday I look at all the people I know, and I see all of the great things they have going on for them in their lives. Now look at me, look at this knee brace, I have nothing going on for myself and you shouldn't expect me to be proud of myself. It's not fair.." - Abigail Cunningham
Ever since a gruesome injury shattered her right knee during the winter of her junior year of high school, Abigail Cunningham's life has been on a downward spiral. Her knee hasn't been healing the way it should be, she's stuck in a awkward knee brace that's literally holding her knee together, and on top of that there's a possibility that she may not ever be able to play basketball again. Sounds like life can't get any worse, right? Wrong. Her college scholarship offers have been revoked due to the fact that she may not be able to play, and now she looks mediocre compared to her friends and family as they're making progress in life and she's seemingly stuck in reverse.

Are you mine?
We've all heard about 'the main character'. The type of person who lives through the most dramatic and improbable situations, and finds the kind of epic romance you only see in works of fiction. Which makes you think about how unrealistic love like that is. I used to think the same thing until I met him. Until I met 'the bad boy' that, as it turns out, wasn't that bad at all, just simply...a boy. A boy with an easy smile, a charming personality and looks so enticing that I couldn't keep my eyes off of him if I tried. A boy whose shoulders were starting to slump with the weight of his past and his family. A boy who believed that the only way to survive was by putting a lock on his heart and chaining it down to a place so deep inside of him that no one could ever reach it again. A boy who, for reasons I'll never comprehend, placed the key inside my palm and didn't shy away when I tried to free his hidden heart from its restraints. A boy who made me the main character of my own story. A story I never want to forget, and which begged to be put on paper. This is that story. ~~~ #1 love triangle 8/26/2019 #1 teen romance 11/4/2019 #1 mystory 7/27/2020 #1 teen drama 9/9/2020 #1 goodgirl 9/12/2020 Cover by @alexandramar1e Contains swearing and mature language.Complete

I love him, but everyone worships the air he breathes and it's suffocating. After a traumatic experience with a quarterback three years ago, I want nothing to do with boys and dating. All that matters is getting into college, so I ace my classes and sign up for my school's student ambassador program to boost my applications. Thankfully, I have my best friend, Harper, to get me through high school being overshadowed by my brother. My plans for a quiet, low-key senior year are destroyed when my brother's cocky, arrogant rival keeps butting into my life. Logan Hightower is a total player who expects me to drool at his feet while he uses me to burn my brother's game. If he thinks I'll fall for his gorgeous looks and shallow charms, he's totally mistaken. He'll never succeed because I hate football players.
