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.

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.

I wouldn’t say it was my favorite but it definitely wasn’t too bad. I didn’t like the writing at first, it just wasn’t my preferred style but it really grew on me by the end. There are a couple things I didn’t like about it. The main thing was that the bigger girl always wrote on food wrappers or always wrote about food. I don’t know this just seemed a bit distasteful considering it made up most of her personality that we perceived. I do understand that she was a confident and funny character but it just didn’t sit too well with me. The writing of the romance is done pretty well I would say I loved the tension. It was a pretty decent read.
