I remember this book from when I was younger and just listened to the audio of it again. It's short but a good read. Not as modern so young adults now may not like it but it introduced me to OCD amd was a very relatable book on other levels as well. Well written.

I'd give it no stars if I could there is no story it is just about a girl who's life sucks as bad as the book is written.
