“Actually, the problem is that I can’t lose my mind,” I said. “It’s inescapable.”

I… had a hard time with this book, but.. in a good way?
The protagonist in this story, Aza, battles anxiety and obsessive compulsive conditions. And her struggles are not exactly my own, but they ring so true that at times I had to stop and put the book down, because I could not continue reading. They ring so true that two days after I finished I was still thinking about this book, and I turned to my husband, and asked him — Would you read parts of this? For me? Because there are not always the right words to explain to him what goes on in my head. But this book… it might help us both.
