This is much more a character study than a story, but it’s still a very interesting look at the inside of the mind living with OCD. It’s so shockingly honest, especially for YA. Life and the mind and friendships and love are very messy and imperfect, and this does not shy away from it. I wouldn’t say a lot “happens” but there is a lot of growth. I like books with more plot, but for the character folks, this one is for you.
