You Know Where To Find Me


Talk about haunting. This book was all about this girl, Miles, and her perfect cousin Laura's suicide. And also, the whole book was about drugs.
Miles is trying to deal with being overweight, goth, and always the picked-on sidekick to her best friend Jamal, and when her cousin kills herself it sends her over the edge.
This book was really depressing and deals with a lot of issues teens should know about, but it was a little dull and more of a psychological thriller and the whole horror movie, if you know what I mean.
I did like one part of this book, though. Miles and her uncle Jim always smoke together. Jim never holds out the lighter at the same time he has it lit for his cigarette, though, he just hands it to Miles to light her own cigarette. When she asks him why he does this, he says something along the lines of, "I don't like being responsible for a child smoking, it's your decision though, and I won't stand in the way of it, I'm just not going to be the one to help you." Basically he tells Miles he still thinks of her as a kid. But at the last smoke they share together, he holds out the lighter to her, already lit. See, a touching moment found through substance abuse: something only found in this book.
