Teenage baller Kaden Hastings has a fit when his family moves to California. He can handle the new medical diagnosis that slowly eats away at his life, but when his parents separate him from his teammates and girlfriend to move him to California to see an epilepsy specialist, Kaden can't deal with it anymore.
Logan Hastings has a confession. For him, the move is a chance to finally help his brother, who now has no one else to turn to for support. Logan finds that helping his brother means lying at school, lying at home, and even letting Kaden risk his life for basketball. Still plagued with guilt for causing Kaden's epilepsy, Logan must choose between helping his brother live and giving him something to live for.
When Kaden meets a mysterious girl at his new epilepsy clinic, he's drawn to her, and not just because they have several things in common. When Logan pushes Kaden to get with a cheerleader at his new school, Kaden is left with a choice: the popular cheerleader who reminds him that he used to play basketball, or the mysterious girl in his art class who can relate to him, because she has epilepsy, too.
In My Head is the first book in a trilogy about the unpredictability of life and the lengths we will go to take back control, fix our mistakes, and protect the ones we love.

Losing Grip
Senior year had never seemed so daunting. After her sister died, Avery found out just how much she hid behind Riley and how comfortable it had been to live through her stories instead of living her own. Realizing that and making a change, however, were two different things, as Avery soon understood. But life had not given her much of a choice. Maintaining a safe distance between herself and all those who used to know Riley was her miserable attempt at dealing with the grief. But she saw her strategic plan crumble, forced to face the friends she had been pushing away. The year she believed she could breeze through was revealing itself to be the year she must face all the pain she had been repelling. And there was no one to hide behind now.

Feining
Ariella Hendrix had one rule for surviving senior year: stay focused and stay invisible. As the soon-to-be valedictorian - and daughter of the principal - she had no time for parties, drama, or cocky basketball players with too much swagger and not enough GPA. LaMelo Ball had one goal: the NBA. School? Not on his radar. Homework? Never heard of her. But when failing grades put his season - and his draft dreams - on the line, the last person he expected to be stuck with was quiet, perfect Ariella Hendrix. She's been in love with him for years. He's just noticing her now. Between late-night study sessions, loud team parties, and her twin brother breathing down their necks, the line between helping him pass and catching feelings gets thinner by the day. And the closer they get, the harder it is to hide it from the one man who can ruin it all - her dad. In senior year, everyone's chasing something. For them, it might just be each other.Complete
