Obsessed: A Memoir of My Life with OCD | Allison Britz

so-so

This was kind of tough to read but interesting all the same. It kind of induced my anxiety reading through the author‘s anxiety. It was so so because it was a little too over detailed for me as she went through her first few weeks of experiencing her OCD. I started to skim in parts because of how overly descriptive some parts were. It was strange that a dream of getting cancer induced all of this hell for her. OCD is more than germs and counting.

What is louder than hunger? The voice in his head telling him he is a loser who shouldn‘t eat, doesn‘t deserve to eat. This portrait of a young boy suffering from anorexia and those determined to help him is inspiring. The voice feels genuine and telling the story in verse was genius.

4.5/5 ⭐️ Loved this romance set at an Irish Pub. Excellent ADHD and OCD rep too.

I made Irish soda bread and shepherd's pie for St. Patrick's Day. Delicious and comforting! 🇮🇪🍀

This novel is aimed at middle grade readers, but held me captive for sure. Jake charts his challenges with anorexia and OCD in this heartbreaking, but ultimately hopeful novel in verse. Jake and his grandmother share a love of musical theatre and reading. But he struggles to connect with friends his own age and fights off a very controlling voice in his head that is causing him great suffering. This beautiful book shares Jake's journey to healing.

This is cute! Pretty heavy on the OCD and ADHD storylines, which is nice representation. Overall it is a light fairly predictable romance, I really liked the ending.
