Annotation: Miles has spent her life in the shadow of her cousin Laura. Laura is completely over privileged--smart, gorgeous, and a student at a prep school outside of D.C. Miles is overweight, anti-social, and lives with her mom in the carriage house on her uncle's property. As far as Miles is concerned, Laura has the perfect life--until Laura commits suicide, leaving her dad and Miles lost in the wake of the event. After spiraling downward, Miles hits rock bottom and overdoses on drugs. She almost dies--just like Laura did. But with the help of her family and friends, Miles gains the strength to face her situation and accept help. This is a forceful, emotional story about finding love and cobbling together a family.

Publisher Description:
Miles has spent her whole life in the shadow of her cousin Laura. Laura is the golden one--smart, gorgeous, rich, and popular--while Miles considers herself the unwanted one--an unattractive, underachieving social outcast. As far as Miles is concerned, Laura has the perfect life...until Laura commits suicide, leaving Miles lost the wake of the event. Losing Laura shatters Miles and sets her on a dangerous downward spiral. When she hits rock bottom, Miles must make a choice: She can escape from it all, just like Laura did, or she can look for strength in herself and in those she didn't believe cared about her, and try to find a reason to live.
