challenging emotional tense fast-paced

3.5

As someone with OCD, I was looking for resources that would encourage my healing, and this book didn’t quite fit the bill. The recollections of the author’s compulsions were more exhausting than inspiring, which is the reality of many people suffering with this disorder but not something that’s necessarily enjoyable to read. 

I do commend Lily for how vulnerably and boldly she recounts her experience. OCD, like most other mental illnesses is frustratingly misunderstood and we need more conversations surrounding it.
