This book was fine. I don't really get the hype, but it was definitely a moving portrayal of severe OCD and how it can affect the people in one's life. The plot was disorganized, and there was a lot going on at all times. The gory descriptions and reading someone's suicidal ideations directly on the page was a bit much for me, but if that doesn't bother you it's definitely a book that will give you a new perspective on mental health.
Graphic: Mental illness, Self harm, Suicidal thoughts, and Suicide attempt
