the writing style is just not for me. It makes me feel very disconnected from the characters and the emotional topics of the story, which is disappointing because I was really looking forward to this :(

slow-paced
yes, this book is definitely a bit slow in some places, but I was genuinely so invested and charmed by the characters and Fawcett's writing that I didn't mind at all!

*no ratings for memoirs; cw: intrusive thoughts (if you struggle with ocd and are easily trigged/perceptive to/by intrusive thoughts plz proceed with caution I had to take breaks in between because I found myself ruminating over her intrusive thoughts as if they were mine!*)
As someone who got diagnosed with OCD just this year after years of battling terrible intrusive thoughts, this book was comforting in a weird way. The topics are obviously brutal, but it was comforting to know that I wasn't alone and that I wasn't a horrible human being just because I was struggling with this. Although Bailey and I suffer with different thoughts, I found myself relating to her in multiple ways. I think this is an important read to see a different perspective of ocd that isn't always talked about in popular media.
