I really really loved this book. It was so interesting being in the mind of Enid, the main character, as she works through her mental health needs and past trauma. I would bet money that this girl has OCD and still believe she does despite not having that diagnosed. It felt like reading what it feels like to be in my own head. Really interesting storyline and has a nice conclusion. It feels like the author has an authentic understanding of queerness and mental health diagnoses; those parts of the book felt natural and not dramatized.
