I knew immediately when I saw it that I wanted to read this book. I read it as soon as I got it, in one go, and I absolutely loved it. I don't think I've ever felt as seen by a book as this one, and it was really lovely to read about OCD in the form of a memoir.

The writing style is beautiful whilst still being simple and colloquial and easy to read. I loved the use of the scorpion metaphor. I think that this is an incredible book for anyone to read, and that it humanises and brings light to a condition that there's not a lot of true information about in popular culture and media.

4.5 stars, rounded down to 4
