The Butterfly Clues by Kate Ellison

5.0

If you've ever felt an overwhelming, irrational desire or need ot count something, or arrange something, or say or do something repeatedly, or else your world will fall apart, you've got a small idea of what Lo is going through. She seems to be dealing with her brother's disappearance and death, and her family's disintegration, by becoming OCD. She takes risks, like wandering the dangerous part of Cleveland called Neverland. She accidentally gets almost in the middle of a murder, and then she becomes obsessed with solving it.

This book is a phenomenal story of someone who is all too human and suffering, but somehow survives all the punches life throws, even if they leave scars.

(Wow, this book was awesome and crazy! I remember counting and doing OCD stuff like the main character, Lo, but not that much. I can see OCD in a whole new light, and have more compassion and understanding now for those who experience this. And the story rocked!)
