At just nineteen, Mirands Woke seems to have it all. Her parents are famous socialites, she's already been written up on page Six sixteen times, she's on all the right invitation lists, and drugs and alcohol are never in short supply. But while her image screams “It girl,” she'd rather be a normal girl, and the A-list feels even less comfortable than her Manolo Blahnik shoes. Neither Xanax nor Deepak Chopra tapes will help. And now that her junkie party has trashed her parents' house, she has to liquidate her trust fund to pay Mom's decorator for a quick fix. But worst of all, Miranda thinks she just murdered her own boyfriend. In an all-too-glamorous world where the cell phone is always ringing, Miranda sees no escape other then a down-ward spiral of Valium, cocaine, and heroin It takes friends who offer more than air kisses to get Miranda to look in the mirror and get some help.
