A story covering pure-o OCD, one that is deeply emotional, impactful and hopeful.

The idea of there being a sanctuary in a deeply stressful environment for people of all qualities and characters to share their art, troubles, worries and ugliness with, is just so wholesome.

Our main character is flawed but still loveable, in the fact that she recognises her flaws and is actively (maybe not always) trying to get better. The notions of kicking out old friends who you recognise are toxic and bad for your mental health is a universal experience. The back and forth between our protagonist and her boyfriend (I forgot his name) is also extremely wholesome.

Quite a lovely read.

Loved this a lot more than I was expecting. I really enjoyed the mental health rep that was presented and the authors note let’s us know that the research was done to keep o the characters and their responses and thought processes as true as possible, although it’s not a one size fits all. I really do enjoy a good book with a solid research foundation. The relationships and the twists and the internal processes were really intriguing.
