The description of mental illness and the struggle with OCD was very interesting and I appreciated that aspect of this book very much. The plot wasn’t particularly compelling though.

A quick read that was very interesting. 

I do think it is a book meant for youth specifically and love that it ends up being about friendship and life continuously moving forward. 

There were great insights into Aza’s mind and her relationships with the people around her weren’t perfect but felt real because of that. I genuinely liked that she finally expressed her needs to everyone after her spiral. A very good conclusion to the book. 

Loved the characters but if you have anxiety or OCD I can see how Aza’s thoughts might make you anxious while reading it.
