The narrator, Jane, recounts her life story, from her childhood as a rich girl to her struggles after her father abandoned the family and her mother lost all their money. Jane works at a cafe and meets Tyler, who is rich and charming, but also has a difficult step-sister, Kiki. As Jane spends more time with Tyler, she realizes they are not compatible, and she starts to develop feelings for Kiki, who is initially hostile towards her.
However, when Kiki saves Jane from a potentially dangerous situation, they start to bond, and Jane begins to see Kiki in a different light. Kiki's behavior is revealed to be a result of her difficult home life, with a stepmother who doesn't care for her.
When Jane discovers a hidden camera necklace that Kiki had lost, she returns it and inadvertently helps Kiki gather evidence against her stepmother. This leads to Tyler's parents being exposed for their wrongdoings, and they are removed from Kiki's life.
Jane and Kiki become close friends, and they support each other through their struggles, including a soccer tournament where Jane is sabotaged by Tyler and his mother. In the end, Jane and Kiki both achieve their goal of becoming professional soccer players, and Jane is finally able to live her best life, free from the influences of toxic people.
