There were several things just off about this one. The pacing, for one. Somehow, everything happens way too fast and too slowly at the same time. The way that the MMC worships the FMC feels over-the-top and way too sudden.

I appreciate it when romcom books deal with mental health issues and resolving things through therapy, but the portrayal of OCD in this was just… no. It gets glossed over and called a quirk.
