Let's see.. who would I recommend this book to? Oh, yeah! Everyone!
This book has certainly made it on my favorites list. Funny, quirky, it made me anxious for the main character and I felt like I had known her from my childhood. I had no idea OCD held such scary experiences, but Terry Spencer Hesser certainly sent a chill down my spine with her ingenius writing technique. Tara Sullivan, main character, had my sympathy from page 1.
Tara's odd rituals started to affect my way of thinking, as well. One night I found every morsel on my plate had to be eaten; if not by me, then by a member of my family; or else it was uneven and wasted. I tell you, it's a scary mindset. I may not have OCD but the idea of being slave to your own thoughts is enough to send me under the bed.
I suggest you read it. It should be on everyone's bookshelf. Or kindleshelf. However the cool kids are reading these days. The point is, it's a fantastic read about the power of will power...if that makes sense.
