  “I picked this book up at the library when I was about 14 years old. I had no idea what it was about and thougth the title was funny. But when I started reading it, it showed me a whole world that I had no idea about. I had no idea what OCD was and it brought a new light to my life. ”

  “What an amazing book. Gets inside the head of a young woman suffering from severe OCD and helps the reader understand the "tyrants" that prevent her from living a normal life. Also, in an age when people frequently say how 'OCD' they are, a good wakeup to what OCD is really like.”

  “From a young age Tara is plagued with anxieties, worries and fear about all kinds of things, but it isn’t until she first hears the phrase “step on a crack, break your mother’s back,” that she increasingly performs bizarre rituals in order to help ease her anxieties. Her new friend Donna provides a distraction for awhile, but Tara gets worse and is continually misdiagnosed until her father’s friend figures out what’s happening and puts her in touch with his student Sam, another obsessive compulsive. Distressing but told with humor and hopefulness.”
