honestly. wow. everyone needs to read this. it's a book, yet so much more. there's times where i laughed, smiled, cried. i saw the plot twist coming, but seconds before it came. kind of like when you hit a wall and then realise it's a wall. it's fiction, but it's not. i don't completely relate to the character, but in different ways i do. it was really moving and could probably help a lot of people. it's realistic. it portrays ocd in a way i haven't seen ocd portrayed (yet) and it's an ACCURATE portrayal. it's not only the "addicted to cleaning" misconception. every word added something. it's not a light book. there are light moments, funny moments, but it's not a light book. i think that's important. it approaches topics that need to be approached. i won't spoil the ending, but the ending did the mc justice. i loved this book. i hate odd numbers and not using a half/quarter star rating, but i can't give it anything else. i can't find a flaw. even when the words weren't the poetry that surrounds the plot, the words were poetry. if that makes sense. i was expecting a good book but it's honestly incredible.
