With the dust still unsettled from the unexpected abandonment of her wanderlust—and mentally ill—father, DANI FETTER begins an epic ride, which will be the next four years of high school. The transition should be seamless with her middle school best friends by her side. But then they—like her father—abandon her when she fails to keep up with their drinking and upperclassmen hook-ups. Enter KEVIN MARTIN, who exudes Bad Boy vibes yet doesn’t participate in the typical high school B.S. that her old friends do. KEVIN and DANI'S intense relationship is cut short by a betrayal so big that DANI’S childhood enemy becomes her best friend. Sophomore year brings new friends, particularly RYAN, who understands her heartbreak and might even be in love with her. With the onset of junior year, DANI tries to embrace her peers’ hooking-up and drinking lifestyle, only to crash and burn (sometimes hilariously) each time. With her senior year, an unexpected encounter with her father causes more confusion and chaos. Through it all, there is a constant back-and-forth with KEVIN that evolves into a love triangle with RYAN. Will this love triangle be resolved by the end of high school, and will DANI get the closure from her father she desperately needs? As is the nature of high school and life, nothing happens as expected.

DANI’S epic ride is a unique, four-year odyssey told in both epistolary and traditional chapter form, authentically showing the growth of a young woman who must overcome the psychological obstacles of adolescent loss and heartbreak.
