I. FUCKING. LOVED. THIS. 

As someone who has lived with/currently has to deal with C-PTSD and severe complex OCD, this book was written exquisitely. I think this should be mandatory reading for anyone who is trying to support someone in this situation; and mandatory reading for people in these kinds of situations so that you can realise you’re not alone. 

This book helped me realise that someone had written my thoughts, emotions, and experiences onto paper, and helped with my understanding of myself and how I now handle anxiety. This is fan-fucking-tastic writing

The author clearly did her research to accurately portray Sam’s OCD. This book provides an interesting window into the live of someone suffering from OCD and breaks down stereotypes often ascribed to those suffering from OCD. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a unique story or to learn more about mental illnesses. It was a quick read for me, it took three hours or so of uninterrupted reading.

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.
