Riley Heart had never considered herself to be brave. Whenever she looked in a mirror she saw a coward, a girl who couldn't keep her parents together or hold a relationship that lasted longer than a Mento. After a terrible accident involving her friends Opal and Phoebe, Riley decided that she needed to change. She was tired of being known around school as a delinquent and a slut and instead became Ms. Perfect. She did as she was told, got good grades, and was in line to become the school's valedictorian. She was smart. She was pretty. She was fine. So why didn't she feel happy? 

Then came Taylor; the new girl. She always had a smile on her face and an obsession with bows and boybands. And, for some reason, she decided to make it her mission to be Riley's best friend. Now, while dealing with a very persistent perky girl, Riley had to also take on the infamous Scott Wilder, her rival for valedictorian, and partner for her English project. 

Can Riley fend off the two of them until the end of the year? Or will her perfect facade crack under the pressure? Most of all, can she gain the courage to face what happened that night with her two old friends? And can she finally, finally tell her parents how she really feels about the separation?

For My Own Good by tilly_turman

-------------------- I gasp for air, twisting in his hold. My heart beats in my chest, between my legs. Urging to get off. But Henry pulls away from me, carefully studying my face. "You look so pretty, all worked up because of me." I feel heat flushing through me, making my hips twitch again. -------------------- For My Own Good Olivia Kent has always been good at running - from her broken home, suffocating memories, and emotions too raw to face. She keeps everyone at a careful distance, hiding the full extent of her pain - even from her best friend Carla. But when Olivia catches golden boy Charlie Bell in a vulnerable moment, it pulls her into an unfamiliar circle of friends who begin to break through her defenses. Then there's Henry, with his piercing grey eyes that see far more than Olivia wants to reveal. She feels immediately and undeniably drawn to him, but opening her heart only makes her realize how tightly she's trapped by the past she's been running from. As her world unravels, Olivia is faced with a difficult decision: stay trapped by fear and guilt, or risk everything for a chance at something better. Sometimes, love isn't enough to save you. Sometimes, it's up to you to find the strength to save yourself. For your own good.
