Three stars because the depiction of OCD was startlingly real, and that is very rare. But I hated the author's choice to make the MC filthy rich. If the point was to illustrate that OCD can affect anyone, regardless of their station in life, then make the MC rich, I guess. But island-owning rich? This will simply not be relatable to anyone. It seemed the author was also trying to push sympathy for the dad, and I just...have zero sympathy for a rich old man who ends up marrying an extremely younger woman and makes his fortune on the misfortune of others

. So those are my gripes. But it was seriously refreshing to read about the type of OCD that I have.
