Miles to Go

Rylie Miles has done her best to develop a personality solely based on lying. Sarcastic, bold, and intimidating, she is your average, not-so-average teenager. She’s got a horrible attitude, and an even worse case of absolute indifference. Her brother, Seth, strives for normality, and almost achieves it… if it weren’t for his (in his opinion) crazy sister. Desmond DeLuca is literally the boy next door, but not in the typical manner. The three meet by chance, a lucky (or unlucky) move and suddenly everyone realizes they’ve all got quite a few miles left to go.
Written in three teenagers’ perspectives, each persona with a voice different enough to relate to anyone’s life, these characters explore the many relationships in life and the efforts required to maintain them. Rylie is central to the story with her eccentric I’m-above-all-this-you-included attitude that goes beyond teenage rebellion but remains real, believable. She’s the character you’ll love to hate, until you simply love her, and she’ll remind readers of their own situations as she leads them to self-discovery.
