The characters deserve a 5 star. The story deserves a 5 star. The romance deserves a 5 star.
I’m giving a 5 star because Hibbert wrote an MC with OCD, and did it unbelievably well. I can’t describe what it feels like to read about someone with OCD who is just doing his best. His counting, his difficulty with condensation and mushrooms, his future planning, his tapping - Brad is me, and I am Brad. And reading a story that centers a person with OCD who does things I do, and is still loved beyond belief, honestly wrecks me. This entire book was so good, but I will never forget that an author who has OCD decided to write an MC who has OCD, and there was nothing awkward about it. Nothing weird or strange or wrong or bad. Thank you. This means the world to me.
