This book explicitly details the character’s inner intrusive thoughts that occur due to her OCD for at least 98% of the book. If that might be triggering in anyway, please proceed with caution.

John Green still breaks my heart in the best ways, the author who made me want to defend YALit in a master's thesis. This book is a beautiful conclusion to his YA era. I had put off reading it for too long but the release of a film adaptation finally motivated me. I do not have OCD, but it has overlap with anxiety and this is such a devastatingly accurate depiction of spiraling, paralyzing episodes. Read with care.

It made me want to read a blog an old friend wrote in high school. I swear it sounded just like Davis's.
