CW: Self harm, OCD
3.5 Stars (

Great, realistic story of kids dealing with issues that overwhelm them -- of coping and triumphing, of loving and letting go. Very well done. That sounds really heavy, but it's actually quite endearing and funny.

books it reminds me of: Counting by Sevens, Out of My Mind, Curious Story of the Dog in the Night-Time, Colin Fischer (

Adam is a 14 year old with OCD. He goes to a group therapy session where he meets Robyn Plummer. He likes her and they become closer. Adam is constantly trying to get better for Robyn. His mom also has mental health issues and she's a hoarder. As Robyn and Adam's relationship progresses, his mom's condition gets worse. He talks about how his mom ripped up a letter and later realizes her mental health was so bad that she had been sending herself threatening notes. At that point he fears for his brother, Sweetie. He also breaks up with Robyn because she is getting better but he's only getting worse. Then, he finally goes to live with his father after his mother becomes too much for him to deal with.

I would recommend this book because it shows realistic insight into the life of someone with OCD. I myself don't know much about OCD so for me it was very interesting to see what it's like. Or at least a general idea. And how someone with a hard home life on top of OCD copes with it. The book also shows how someone with a mental illness deals with simple everyday things, like having a crush on a girl. I think it would also be a good read because it's just a really interesting story that shows that just because people are going through the same illness doesn't mean their symptoms are the same. Like for example, Adam has to do things over and over again until they are fixed. He also has a need to be perfect for people. (

Het orgineel van mijn review kan je vinden op mijn blog:

...Een van de ontroerende scenes uit het boek, en ik moest echt even slikken.
En als een boek dat met je kan doen, wel dan is het gewoon een goed boek!! (
