From the back cover

Jeremy Barton has spent his whole life being measured against his twin brother, Alan. Their mother prizes achievement above all else, and from the day Alan opened his eyes first, Jeremy has been the lesser son—watered-down cereal instead of formula, a dark room instead of ten nannies, no dinner after a score of 99. Told that winners take all, Jeremy studies until he finally beats Alan on the SATs, only to learn Alan was already accepted to Swafford College early and took the test for fun. Humiliated at Alan's party, Jeremy leaves home, puts himself through college and builds a career alone.

Years later, cancer drains his savings. Facing discharge from the hospital and a sales quota he cannot meet, Jeremy swallows his pride and calls the mother he has not spoken to in five years. She agrees to help—until Alan's voice cuts in, reminding him he swore never to rely on the family. The line goes dead.

Out in the bitter cold, with no money and no cure, Jeremy can only look back on a life in which he was never good enough.

Inside the book Opening excerpt

My mom is the kind of person who values achievement above all else.

From then on, Alan always came out ahead.
