“The Promise Between Us” is a powerful and educational story which addresses the less well-known side of OCD and explores how such an illness can affect a family. I'm giving this book 4 stars – thanks again to Rachel at Rachel's Random Resources and author Barbara Claypole White for the opportunity to read this book!

Repetition bothers me. This book had a lot of phrases that were repeated over and over. That being said, it was a book about OCD and one of the characters had to keep reminding herself that "thoughts are just thoughts," etc. I get why the author did it, but it still bugged the crap out of me. For me, this was a book that I "got through" more than enjoyed.

A heartfelt family drama involving OCD—with authentically developed, flawed characters, complicated problems with no easy solutions, and a thread of hope throughout—this story is a compelling read. (I received a free copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.)
