I don’t know that I’ve ever seen OCD in media represented so accurately. Reading Aza’s struggles against her intrusive thoughts, her so-called “inner demon,” made me feel seen for the first time since my own OCD diagnosis. 

I’m so moved by “Turtles All The Way Down” that I can’t write an accurate review of the plot and characters.
