Publisher's summary

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.

Like watching a teenage movie

Has something in it, but for an adult as me feels like a little light and easy. Good to kill time while in my one hour commute though.

An Interesting Look at Life

The characters were very easy to get invested in. I enjoyed the story. It was a highly engrossing listen and the narrator was extremely effective at dragging you into the world. It was an emotional rollercoaster and a enjoyable ride.

The Odds of Loving Grover Cleveland

This is a lovely coming of age story replete with behavioral health issues plaguing many of today’s adolescence. The storyline is riveting.the characters are well developed. The power of the human spirit to face overwhelming tragedy and courageously move forward mirrors reality in the lives of so many adolescents. I would highly recommend this to people who may have teens having a hard time coping and mental health practitioners.

Modern day breakfast club for girls

Great read for girls in high school who feel they are broken, no good and don’t fit in.

I recommend this book.

An easy-to-relate-to group of troubled teens try to figure out who they are and what they want from family, life, friendships, and each other at a summer camp for at-risk teens.

The narration is great, the characters well developed, and the subject matter is deep, while still being funny, raw, and honest.

I highly recommend.

A must read for teens and young adults

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this audiobook to anyone that has tween or teen children. It illustrates the anguish of growing up and lets them know that they are not alone in their suffering. It lets them know that even if people look different, come from different backgrounds, the anxiety is still the same.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Odds of Loving Grover Cleveland?

The attempted suicide.

Have you listened to any of Caitlin Kelly’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If I had the time, I would have listen all in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

Great book for young women especially.

Great Read

The Narrator really made this great story come to life. An amazing story can be destroyed with an inadequate narrator but this was awesome. I use audible for exercise. I kept listening beyond walking. I need more Rebekah and Caitlin. :-)

Teens

I thought that was a great book about teenagers and their problems. It was so easy to like these characters cause I have friends that more or less similar. The author the teenage life right on the spot. It’s not for every teen but you’ll know if it’s for you from reading the synopsis.
