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.

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.
