Bea suffers with severe OCD and this book is based around her falling in love with another OCD sufferer.
She has a lot of issues in terms of her OCD, she follows a famous male, Austin and his wife, Sylvia at she has the appointment after them at therapy with Dr Pat. She also has a phobia of driving fast and hitting someone and not realizing when really she's driving at thirty five miles an hour or less. She also feels unsafe around sharp objects as she feels she may accidentally harm someone.
At Dr Pat's group therapy sessions, she meets Beck. He becomes her boyfriend but suffers his own phobia's, counting and doing things in eights. He's a gym and cleaning addict as he feels he could've saved his eight year old sister that way by being stronger we later learn.
We see how complex and individual each case of OCD is and how it differs in form from person to person. I really liked the book although I felt the storyline could've been stronger around the stalking as I know I wouldn't enjoy being stalked yet Austin and Sylvia seem to more embrace it. Maybe it's because they're famous and are used to fans!
