At all of the books I’ve read this is the second book that made me cry. This book was so informative and definitely educated me on OCD and it’s so important to know more about diseases/illnesses. The romance was so cute and loved that the author took a real story. The “dedication” page abt her family member was so sweet and I’m so glad she found her own Aj. I can go on and on about this book and will probably edit this when I have the exact words I want to say. This book was reflective and made me think and have my own thoughts abt life in general. I never read a book like this before.

This book was a very lovely read. I don’t usually read coming of age novels but I remembered someone online recommended it to me a while back. I really didn’t see the plot twist coming because it had been so long since I read the summary that I was basically going in blind. I recommend this book to people in high school who feel misunderstood. The message was lovely, and I appreciate the effort that the author took to portray OCD in an educated and respectful way.

the writing in this book was very fluid, and made for quite an enticing read. i liked how there was a lot of depth to sam’s character (although there are some things i really wasn’t a big fan of - the whole bullying plot line felt
unnecessary and made me feel extremely uncomfortable), however i think there could have been a bit more depth for some of the side characters, like aj. some of the plot points in the book also just felt a bit cliché (which is to be expected in a ya novel), but the plot twist completely took me by surprise in the book, and i thought that the subtle build up to it was quite clever.

As someone with OCD, this book definitely hits close to home. The depth of the characters is beautiful and you definitely build a connection, however, I feel like the book is very lighthearted in a sense. It seems a little more idealistic but it doesn't romanticize mental illnesses. There is not a single "cure" to her behavior and she is instead motivated to navigate how to seek help. The plot twist is also written so well that I still feel impacted by it 6 years later. Definitely a good read but I think people without similar mental conditions should do some research to help fill the gaps.
