Riley loves her brother more than anything in the world. They have always been there for each other since they were kids. If playing pranks and making fun of each other counts as being there for each other. Now that Riley is just starting high school... things haven't really gone as planned. While her brother was driving them to school, they crashed and she's been in a coma ever since. When she wakes up, things have definitely changed. Over the two years she been under, she has changed herself. Her brother has become an over protective wreck that regrets all the things he's done to his sister, and his best friend Tanner is starting to take an interest in Riley. But not in the way that pleases her older brother: Wilson. Now it's up to Riley to choose between what her brother wants and what she wants herself, while trying to get back to a normal lifestyle with her friends and family....
Riley will do whatever it takes to have The Better Life.

Life is anything but perfect for her: she's moving because of her parents' divorce, she's trying to figure out how to get through senior year in a new school, figuring out what to do about college, AND she's reunited with her childhood best friend (and crush), Shane, who may or may not be the same person she once knew him to be. And let's not forget his vengeful ex-girlfriend, Annie, who can't seem to let him go. Attempting to get through life in her own signature and sarcasm-laden way, Riley has to learn the hard way how to make friends, possibly find love and learn that she can't do everything on her own, and most of all, that sometimes, it's okay to live in the moment without planning it all.Complete
