Evie has OCD and has been recovering from a debilitating spiral into the condition. She has been going to therapy and has even now got her first date with a guy called Ethan.
However, at the party together he ends up drunk and in bed with another girl whilst it makes Evie feel rubbish, it makes her rekindle her friendship with Lottie and Amber, two girls from her past whom she meets again at the party.
The book tells Evie's struggle between OCD and 'normal' as she wants to never again be seen as she was before with old friend Jane when she was at her worst with her condition. As her family pick up on signs Evie is relapsing, she becomes aware that she needs her friends but still refuses to confide in them about her OCD but soon she may be forced to as she faces being resectioned...
This is a great book about the issue of OCD in teens, a lot of people think OCD wouldn't happen with teens as they are supposed to be messy and carefree or stressing over exams not ultra clean and tidy. It shows the bigger issues and deep set thoughts on the mind causing behaviors and actions with full effect. Guy and Ethan who were Evie's love interests I found very awful to read how they treated girls but at least the spinster and feminism club was born!
