Riley has been used to her life being exactly the same. But as life changes, so will she, in more ways than one. She'll explore her life and her feelings.
Little Riley Matthews, Maya Hart, Lucas Friar, Farkle Minkus and everyone else form a cute friendship and develop not REAL feelings but what they see as love from their young, innocent perspective. They'll grow and mature into young adults as the chapters proceed and begin to learn who they are.
