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 Jess 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.

This was a quick read and all I can say is: don‘t underestimate teenagers. They love life harder than anyone else, feel all the feels, take all the risks, and mistakes won‘t necessarily ruin their lives.

“All I‘m saying is you can‘t do anything about the past. But it doesn‘t really exist. Memories are just a mind manipulation to keep you tethered to something that‘s no longer there. Free yourself and let it go.” I am so tired of holding my pieces together. I need the superglue.

Oddly enough, this book reminded me of the John Green books I have just finished reading. The characters are smart and witty, they form a tight bond, and adventures occur. All of the characters are damaged, but the main character is most damaged of all. Esther‘s healing process is just one journey in this book, but it is the most heartbreaking and hope-filled of all.

An interesting thought process of a sixteen-year-old who is dealing with a lot.

As I was reading, I almost decided I didn't like it because it was getting angsty, but something about it kept it from just barely not going that way, and I think it is all of the supporting cast of the main character.
In the end, it just turned out to be a good read. You will have some questions in the end, but it was an excellent journey to go down.
