Five teens, one summer of change

Jennifer Yu’s novel brings five teenagers with distinct struggles together in a wilderness therapy program: Clarissa lives with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Andrew with an eating disorder, Ben retreats into films, Mason’s confidence sets him apart, and Stella returns for a second summer. Their experiences provide several points of view on treatment, self-understanding, and the uncertain work of imagining a future. As the teens get to know one another, the book also traces the bonds that form among people whose challenges and reasons for being there differ.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teen and young adult readers interested in stories about mental health and treatment.
  • Readers who enjoy ensemble stories centered on friendships among teenagers.
  • Readers interested in characters facing different personal struggles during a shared summer experience.

Book overview

Obsessive-compulsive teen Clarissa wants to get better, if only so her mother will stop asking her if she's okay.

Andrew wants to overcome his eating disorder so he can get back to his band and their dreams of becoming famous.

Film aficionado Ben would rather live in the movies than in reality.

Gorgeous and overly confident Mason thinks everyone is an idiot.

And Stella just doesn't want to be back for her second summer of wilderness therapy.

As the five teens get to know one another and work to overcome the various disorders that have affected their lives, they find themselves forming bonds they never thought they would, discovering new truths about themselves and actually looking forward to the future.
