I cried! I loved being inside Aza’s head although it made my heart hurt for this fictional character sometimes. It was interesting to experience someone else’s… experience, I guess, with OCD that is more debilitating than mine, because I was able to relate in some ways and not others. I thought the friendships were very real and well-written. Overall a good book.
