There are three things I hate: rich people, boys, and Kai Rush. Kai happens to be all three. He and his dad have all the money in the world from the game app they created, and what do they do with it? They buy private helicopters and flaunt their brand new Teslas. Never mind that people like my mom and I work multiple jobs just to keep our crappy apartment and pay for back medical bills because my dad ran scared and left us alone. So when my mom tells me we have a new cleaning job at the Rush’s before school, I’m peeved. When he starts texting me, I’m floored.

I’m a big girl, “plus-sized”, whatever. I’m sick of hearing about it, especially since my doctor diagnosed me with PCOS. So when mean girl Merritt shot her mouth off about how fat people should just lose weight, I couldn’t take it anymore. And now I’ve got a huge problem. To prove curvy girls like me can get happily-ever-afters too, I have to get our school’s quarterback, Beckett Langley, to take me to homecoming. And he doesn’t know I even exist. But it’s not hopeless. Four other girls just like me are willing to help, because enough is enough.

Singing is my life, but no agency will sign me because of my size. They want me to lose weight. Dress differently. Be someone other than my size 20 self. They want me to be like Jude Santiago with his perfectly fitted jeans and tight T-shirts and completely sell out. There’s no way I’m going down that path, and I tell him so publicly on my YouTube channel. But when it gets back to him, he has an agreement: go on tour with him and see for myself that he’s authentic. If I can’t, he won’t make another album.

The one thing my parents can’t shelter me from is my heart. I nearly died the summer of my eighth grade year, and ever since then, my parents have done everything they could to keep me healthy. Now I’m a senior, and instead of feeling safe, I’m suffocating.

Terrell had his last basketball season at Emerson Academy all planned out. Step one, win the state championship. Step two, get recruited by the best colleges in the nation. Step three, play in college and then go pro. But life had other plans. When all the other starters on the team are kicked off for being caught at a party, he’s left playing with freshmen who've never seen varsity playing time.

I’ve spent my whole life trying not to get bullied. For my frizzy hair. My freckles. The white patches on my Black skin or the gap in my teeth. Not to mention the extra hundred pounds I have on most of my classmates. So when my soldier pen pal wants to see a picture of me, I freak. I send him a picture of one of the it girls at school and move on. The odds of us meeting in person are less than zero, and for once in my life, I want to know what it feels like to be one of the beautiful girls. Someone a guy like him would be into.

An arranged marriage and a bad boy who breaks all of the rules...My father’s been planning my wedding day for longer than I have. Since I turned 17, he’s sent me on date after date with people from the film industry - producers, directors, actors...I’ve dated - and turned down - them all. But Ryde Alexander is the worst. My only escape is a food delivery boy and a motorcycle my dad would have a heart attack if I got on. But I don’t care. I need to get away, and Ronan is more than happy to take me.

He bullied my sister. Now it’s his turn to pay. Ryker is the top of the Emerson Academy food chain, and he uses his power to remind everyone of just how powerless they are. Until now. When I see him picking on the most innocent girl in school for her weight, I snap. Ignoring him is no longer enough. No, my friends and I are going to make him pay.

I wanted to have the best summer ever. To have my first kiss and finally get my brother’s best friend to notice me. So I talked my best friend Carson into helping. He’d do anything for me, and I’d do the same for him. But somewhere between fake dating and pretending to fall in love with him, I fell for real.

A real-life prince. Like of a country. And he’s not one of those ugly ones with big teeth that girls only like because he’s royal. No, he’s hot. On fire. I’m drooling just thinking about him. But that’s the problem, because the only reason my parents took him in is because they don’t think there’s any way a guy like him could crush on a girl like me.

Emerson Dance is one of the most prestigious dance companies in the country. And I got kicked off the team right before nationals because my curves don’t “fit.” Not their idea of a perfect dancer's body and definitely not their costume. I’m going to enter the competition on my own and show them that every body is a dancer’s body. It will mean practicing in the gym with the bodybuilders, but I can shove my nerves—and my attraction to Carter McCormac—aside long enough to win.

Abi hasn’t had an easy life. In fact, the opposite. And when she has to move in with her Grandma midway through her senior year, she thinks it’s just getting worse. Little does she know a boy down the street and a rag tag group of friends are about to turn her world - and her heart - upside down. Start listening to the series that will make you laugh, cry, and swoon today.

All she has is a wallet-sized photo and scribbled letters, but Shawn's honest words and quiet confidence have her imagining happily ever after. With her heart opening to possibilities, and relationships, she never even thought were possible, Anika has to make a decision. Stick to her plan or follow her heart.

What happens when the bad boy takes over the school advice column? The last thing Emerick should be doing is giving anyone advice. His dad’s in prison. His mom’s buried under credit card debt. And he’s one step from failing. After everything his mom’s been through, she can’t take another disappointment. So when the guidance counselor gives him a choice, anonymously write the school’s advice column or drop out, what choice does he really have? Student body president Nora Wilson has the perfect life. At least, that’s what everyone thinks.

After everything I’ve been through, I’m more focused than ever on healing myself and living the kind of life I want. But with my dad up for parole and Jon’s athletic career over with a single injury, my dreams are turning into a nightmare. I have so many questions. How can I heal when everything around me seems so broken? How can I live my life when the person who hurt me might walk free?

Volleyball was my way out. So now, instead of trying to get away from my small town, I’m just trying to escape the pain. I don’t know how, but I went from never-been-kissed to kissing two guys in a week. Somehow I got the attention of the sweet guy with a sunshine smile and Kellum freaking Watts. And now I have to make a choice between the guy who will dream of a different future with me and the one I’ve been dreaming about. The problem is, it’s hard to think of the future when you’re just trying to survive the present.

I have to get out of here. I’m drowning in this small town, in my parents’ tiny house filled with big rules and even bigger anger. And there’s only one thing that can get me out. Volleyball. But Shelby’s out to take everything I’ve worked for away from me over a stupid grudge. She won’t stop at sabotaging my volleyball position. No, she’s out for blood. That means she’ll attack me everywhere it counts. Volleyball, weightlifting, my friendships, and Kellum. I’ve done everything, given everything, sacrificed everything I can to create a future for myself.

My junior year was a failure of epic proportions. Like, they needed to create a new grading scale for how badly it went. I have one year left of high school to plan for my future and hopefully have a little fun while doing it.

High school was supposed to be the best time of my life, until it wasn’t. With a dysfunctional family, a mean girl out to get my spot on the volleyball team, and no chance of my quarterback crush noticing me, high school is shaping up to be my worst nightmare instead.
