I have this pathetic disease. Never mind what its called. Life doesnt play by the rules, so fourteen-year-old Ricky decides she wont either. Rickys rules allow for cursing, cutting school, and lying to the Disaster-Formerly-Known-As-Her-Parents. That is, until her truancy is discovered and shes facing the threat of having to repeat ninth grade. It all makes her feel so angry so cursed. Going back to school would be ten times worse if it werent for a new friendquirky/cute classmate Oliver, a childhood cancer survivor who understands what its like to be sick. Ricky also discovers that her strict public speaking teacher, who has zero expectations of her, is a supermotivating force. Theres nothing like proving someone wrong. The harder Ricky works, the more she wonders if school has something to teach her after all. What if she isnt cursed? What if going it alone isnt her only option?
