Narrative Conducive To Books The Odds of Loving Grover Cleveland
According to sixteen-year-old Zander Osborne, nowhere is an actual place—and she’s just fine there. But her parents insist that she get out of her head—and her home state—and attend Camp Padua, a summer camp for at-risk teens.Zander does not fit in—or so she thinks. She has only one word for her fellow campers: crazy. In fact, the whole camp population exists somewhere between disaster and diagnosis. There’s her cabinmate Cassie, a self-described manic-depressive-bipolar-anorexic. Grover Cleveland (yes, like the president), a cute but confrontational boy who expects to be schizophrenic someday, odds being what they are. And Bek, a charmingly confounding pathological liar.
But amid group “share-apy” sessions and forbidden late-night outings, unlikely friendships form, and as the Michigan summer heats up, the four teens begin to reveal their tragic secrets. Zander finds herself inextricably drawn to Grover’s earnest charms, and she begins to wonder if she could be happy. But first she must come completely unraveled to have any hope of putting herself back together again.

Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/ Have you lost your mind?Thats why Im here, right? Before we begin, let me just admit that every time I review a YA book I totally feel a little bit like . . . . That being said, Imma still read em. Now lets get on with the show.Theres bound to be some comparisons to John Green here due to the fact that it features a cast of teenagers who are all a bit . . . . . If thats a dealbreaker for you, then do yourself a favor and staySomeone recommended this to me, then Amazon offered me the book for free. Skip it. This book is racist white savior garbage. The story is about a summer camp for troubled kids, where the most troubled kid is black. Her character is made entirely of ugly stereotypes of black women, right down to anger and homophobia. The narrator then saves her life, and invites her to come live with her wholesome white family that only eats kale.
I was reminded yet again of why I loathe this book and how it has permanently damaged my ability to read anything by Rebekah Crane so here's some details on the fuckiness of this book I didn't mention last year:The basis of the book is a summer camp for mentally ill teenagers. The cis girl in the book is sent there for her depression and then meets a quirky boy.- Day 1 of camp: A very blatant trans person/AFAB teenager experiencing dysphoria is repeatedly misgendered and dismissed after saying
What a sweet book.I was really close to giving it 5 stars, and wavered for a moment before deciding on 4. There is a certain amount of predictability in the story, but I didn't mind it. The characters I cared most about (Zander, Cleve, Cassie, and Bek) were written well. The other characters, like Dori and Hannah, not so much. They felt more like background noise, to flesh out the scenes. I really liked the overall theme of the story- there is always hope. Despite shit circumstances, hanging on
4.5 Stars
Unlike some YA books, this one is really appropriate for a teenage audience. The deep dark secrets are very serious issues, but not quite as deep and dark as it definately could have been. The author drops a lot of clues to some of the character backgrounds in the first part of the part of the book. My guesses as the story unfolded were a tad more dramatic than the actual senarios that were revealed! The theme of the story is put accross in a fairly simple and effective way with a basic but
Well written but could have been shortened by several chapters as it did drag towards the last quarter.
