Filled with moments of deep emotion and unexpected humor, this understated and wise novel explores the complexities of living with OCD and offers the prospect of hope, happiness, and healing. Perfect for listeners who love Eleanor & Park and All the Bright Places.

Adam’s goals:

  • Grow immediately
  • Find courage
  • Keep courage
  • Get normal
  • Marry Robyn Plummer

The instant Adam Spencer Ross meets Robyn Plummer in his young adult OCD support group, he is hopelessly, desperately drawn to her. Robyn has an hypnotic voice, blue eyes the shade of an angry sky, and ravishing beauty that makes Adam’s insides ache. She’s also just been released from a residential psychiatric program - the kind for the worst, most difficult-to-cure cases; the kind that Adam and his fellow support group members will do anything to avoid joining.

Adam immediately knows that he has to save Robyn, must save Robyn, or die trying. But is it really Robyn who needs rescuing? And is it possible to have a normal relationship when your life is anything but?

I took a chance on this book and I'm SO glad I did! It was just wonderful. I loved Adam and his heart. He tried so hard to help EVERYONE. I thought the *twist* was good too, I actually didn't see it coming. It's a friendship story, a love story and a beautiful coming of age story. And it made me cry. Great story, great narration!! I would recommend this book to everyone!

It's a nice little book about a boy battling OCD. It wasn't mind-blowing, but I don't regret spending a credit on it. I, too, have a form of OCD. It can be debilitating at times, and they speak with knowledge on the subject.
It's kind of a "insta-love" story. But it doesn't completely focus on that. Everything wraps up nicely.

Decent book.

I decided to read this book for a class but couldn’t put it down I finished it in three days. Every part of this book was wonderfully written and with realistic characters and creative story telling. I loved the authors prose and ups and downs made me smile and silently cry on my walks to class would recommend to absolutely anyone but especially those with mental health issues or people who interact with the mental health care system in America. The depictions of the struggles every character goes through is heart wrenching my realistic
