I haven’t even finished the book yet but I feel such a strong need to say that as someone with OCD I have never felt so validated. OCD is not something that is easily described in words and as john green has said many time is often described with metaphors because there is no distinct way to express an invisible force within you that makes you feel like you are loosing your mind. I’m not much of a reader but I haven’t been able to put this book down since I opened it. If you have OCD i highly recommend reading this and maybe sharing it with people in your life who you would like to better understand what it’s like. And even if you don’t have OCD or don’t know anyone with OCD I would still highly recommend reading this book it has a lot of aspects many people could relate to specifically young adults. I just want to say thank you John Green even though you most likely won’t ever read this, this has mad me fee so much better about my mental illness.
