Narration In Favor Of Books You Know Where to Find Me
Jamal said only, "Laura..." And I knew, just knew by the rip through my gut and the instant convulsion in my heart, knew by Jamal's uncharacteristically unsmiling face. I knew because Laura always did what I wished I could do.First cousins Laura and Miles grew up like sisters. Miles thought of Laura as the golden one -- smart, beautiful, rich, and popular -- while Miles considered herself the unwanted one -- an unattractive, underachieving outcast. Laura's suicide shatters Miles and leaves her feeling completely alone, and sets Miles on a dangerous downward spiral. But in the strength Miles finds in herself and in those she didn't believe cared about her, she is able to rebuild her life in unexpected ways.
Rachel Cohn's emotionally powerful new novel views serious issues such as depression, suicide, prescription-drug abuse, and alternative family configurations through the lens of family love and survival.

Wow, so I really hated this book. Besides nothing happening, the narrator is fat. No, really. She's FAT and she loves to eat but she hates herself because she's FAT and no one will ever love her because she's FAT and FAT FAT FAT FAT FAT. Her real problem is that she's BORING because she's so obsessed with being FAT.Laura and Miles used to be cousins and best friends. They grew up in the paradise of their tree house, enacting fairy tales. You dont know differences when youre younger. So Laura was a blonde, blue-eyed perfect princess and Miles was a plump girl who started reading at the age of four and never stopped. So what? That didnt stop them from doing Brownies, Girl Scouts, summer camp, swimming and dancing lessons together.Adolescence caused them to grow apart, because soon these differences do
"she did not kill herself as a means of escaping something. She simply chose not to live. There's a difference."It's weird...but I found a book about suicide boring.No, boring isn't the right word. I think I just didn't connect with any of the characters. The conversations were strange for me because they seemed...forced? had confusing slang/lingo? never seemed to be about what they were actually saying but I could never actually squeeze out the real meaning either...and, honestly, Miles kind of
Beautiful Laura and chubby Miles are sister-cousins, cousins by blood but as close as sisters. That is, until adolescence, when perfect Laura ditches Miles for more popular friends, and outcast Miles is dubbed 8 Mile. But during Lauras last year of high school, the cousins reconnected over a shared love of getting high. Miles thought she had gotten Laura back; she didnt know how far they really were until Laura commits suicide. Miles now finds herself lost, not knowing who to turn to or what to
Not a whole lot redeemable here. I actually specifically seek out books about depression and suicide and unhealthy coping mechanisms, so that's not what threw me off. This was just handled very poorly. All of the characters were very stagnant and flat. Miles had a little more depth, but she was too lost in her own self-pity and denial and constant rants (weight issues, D.C., gay rights, drugs, etc.) to be that likable, especially when she treated everyone so badly. I get that it can be hard to
Name: Anna MeyerBook title: You Know Where to Find MePersonal Response: In my opinion, I thought this was a good book. It had a good plot to it and it was not like any other teenage book. I would definitely read it over again, or I would recommend it to some other friends. I thought the book also had a good hook to it too because, like I said before, it had a good twist and plot to it. So to conclude, I thought this was a really great book to read, and had a lot of interesting things happening.
