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, leaving her feeling completely alone, and setting 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.
