Šestnásťročná Zander Osbornová žije vo vlastnom svete a očividne sa trápi. Jedného dňa jej rodičia oznámia, že ju prihlásili do tábora Padova, päťtýždňového programu pre problémových tínedžerov. Zander tam nezapadá, alebo si to aspoň myslí. Pre svojich spolutáborníkov má len jedno označenie: blázni. Väčšina z nich nemá ďaleko od diagnózy. Je tam napríklad Cassie, jej spolubývajúca, ktorá sama seba opisuje ako manicko-depresívno-bipolárno-anorektickú, alebo Grover Cleveland (áno, ako ten americký prezident), milý, ale konfliktný chlapec, ktorý čaká, že sa uňho prejaví schizofrénia. Pravdepodobne sa ani jeden z nich nemýli. V tábore je aj Bek, očarujúci patologický klamár. Popri skupinových „zverapiách“ a zakázaných nočných vychádzkach vznikajú nepravdepodobné priateľstvá a ako michiganské leto graduje, štyria tínedžeri postupne odhaľujú svoje tajomstvá. Zander priťahuje komplikovaný Grover a ona začne uvažovať, či môže byť ešte šťastná. No ak sa má dať znovu dokopy, musí si najprv upratať v hlave.

From the author of The Odds of Loving Grover Cleveland comes a hilarious and heartbreaking novel about coming apart, getting it together--and moving on. It's just a two-hour drive-- Pondering math problems is Esther Ainsworth's obsession. If only life's puzzles required logic. Her stepfather's solution? Avoidance. He's exiled the family to Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, to erase a big secret from Esther's past. So much for the truth. Now for the consequences: an empty swimming pool, a water-sucking cactus outside her window, a goldfish rescued from a church festival, and Esther's thirst for something real. Step one: forget about her first love. Step two: make allies. Esther finds them in Jesús from the local coffee bar; a girl named Color who finds beauty in an abandoned video store; Beth, the church choir outcast; and Moss, a boy with alluring possibilities. Step three: confess her secret to those she hopes she can trust. Esther's new friends do more than just listen. They're taking Esther one step further. Together, they hit the road to face Esther's past head-on. It's a journey that will lead her to embrace her own truth--in all its glory, pain, and awesomeness.
