LitPick Review
Miles always felt second best to her cousin, Laura. Laura's the skinny, pretty one, the popular girl with a doting father and more wealth than she can ask for, while Miles is the failure, overweight and underachieving. The two may not be as close as they were in their childhood, but Miles thought that she knew Laura, at least well enough to predict and prevent her cousin's suicide. Now, with her best friend gone, Miles is left alone, stranded on earth to deal with the consequences of Laura's death. As her life spirals out of control, Miles has to come to terms with the fact that she isn't the only one who lost Laura, and that life will go on regardless of who has left it.
Opinion:
Rachel Cohn strikes again with the beautiful prose and risque topics that her readers know so well. Miles is the perfect protagonist for this story, because she is well aware of her problems. Thus, sympathizing with her is incredibly easy. The entire novel is a masterpiece, a perfect mix of different writing styles that keep the reader intrigued and in awe. Cohn deals with an array of difficult topics, but does so powerfully and clearly shows the consequences of every action without being morally superior. None of the characters are perfect, but they aren't cliches, either. They're entirely believable and wonderfully flawed. Overall, "You Know Where To Find Me" is an incredibly moving book, worth devouring from beginning to end.
