A memoir about living, coping, and (for the most part) overcoming OCD. With unpretentious prose, Tuppence Middleton illuminates how devastating and all-encompassing this illness can be. Unflinchingly frank, and remarkably honest. This memoir, which starts with what Middleton suspects might be the cause of her OCD, details her rituals and obsessions, which must have been incredibly difficult to write about. I learnt a lot, and in a way that made me feel huge compassion for this horrible illness.
