I really enjoyed this book and I’m glad I added it to my collection. The story itself was pretty great and though the twist towards the end was pretty unexpected (for me at least), I can’t say that I disliked what it added to the story.

I’m definitely not an expert on OCD, nor can I say whether or not this is an accurate portrayal. In fact, I know that not everyone’s experiences are like the main character Sam’s and while the author did showcase Sam’s daily struggles, I’m sure that there are some who feel like it was a glossy, fantasy, somewhat fairy tale version of what OCD is. With that being said, I don’t think that takes away from what the author was trying to get across or the story that she was trying to tell. I may not be able to relate to everything Sam was experiencing mental health wise, but I found myself relating to her on some levels and rooting for her throughout the story. No, I wasn’t expecting a “cure” or a perfect ending wrapped up in a neat little bow, but I did find myself hoping that she would find a way to work towards being happy by the end of the book and I’m glad she did.
