Miranda Woke is nineteen years old and she is a child of wealth and privilege and she has used her advantages to become a drug addict.
Apparently her issues stem from her gad-about mother and her indifferent father and her guilt over the untimely death of her lover. These fuel her downward slide into degradation.
Ending up in rehab at a clinic in Minnesota, she comes to an understanding of her problems and is released to return to New York City where nothing has changed except Miranda. Same old indifferent and absent parents, same old group of promiscuous and drug abusing "friends." But a hopeful new Miranda who doesn't want to end up like her parents and her dead lover.
I found this book a bit boring. I don't really sympathize with the poor little rich girl. The world is handed to her on a platter but she throws it all away for a booze, sex and drugs. Her idea of a good time, I guess. Her story is nothing new and she is pathetic.
