This retelling is centered around Kendall Evans and Adam Foster. There are two sides to this story. Adam Foster believes he can get anything or anyone he wants. So, when he stumbles upon a girl who catches his eye, he realizes right away she would be more of a challenge than he bargained for. However, when Kendall Evans crosses paths with a guy who's known for breaking hearts, she immediately wants nothing to do with him. She firmly believes he could never sway her. 

So, they initiate a bet. If Kendall falls for Adam the night before homecoming, it will prove his point that she is like everyone else and he indeed gets what he wants. But if Adam fails to win Kendall's affection before the deadline, he swears to mend his ways.

**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.

Good grades, affluence, and opportunities, Sophia Parrish has everything a 17-year old girl could possibly want. That is, until a summer vacation with her brothers to Charleston, South Carolina leaves her second-guessing her own happiness. It's not until she meets devilishly handsome, yet utterly rebellious Noah Collins where she starts to question what she thought she knew about love, status, and even heartbreak. The one thing that stands between them: the fact that they're from two different worlds. She comes from money; he's battling childhood demons. Can their desire to be together overpower her family's disapproval?
