OCD Love Story

Corey Ann Haydu (Goodreads Author)
When Bea meets Beck, she knows instantly that he's her kind of crazy. Sweet, strong, kinda-messed-up Beck understands her like no one else can. He makes her feel almost normal. He makes her feel like she could fall in love again.

This was, in all honesty, very disappointing to me. I mean, it sounded amazing, but actually reading it...well, it fell flat.
Even though this is technically a YA book, I honestly don't feel as if many teens will enjoy this novel. It was...I'll be blunt: it was like reading an autobiography and I honestly don't enjoy those. I think my problem with this was the issues that are in this book. I have nothing against people with OCD, but I really don't enjoy reading about it. And...I really didn't th...more

Funny and Moving
Bea has a problem. She needs to watch over people. Closely, while taking detailed notes. In special notebooks. The details of Bea's increasingly crippling OCD are intertwined with a her romance with Beck, a fellow sufferer. A mix of humor and romance, this book is sure to appeal to high school students. (Some mature elements, so not for Middle Schoolers)
This review is based on an ARC provided to me by the publisher. The release date is 7/23/13

So I was a bit hesitant about this when when I heard that Haydu doesn't have OCD, but now I'm utterly convinced that she must be a complete genius. HOW DID SHE WRITE THIS without personal OCD experience? Her description of anxiety and compulsion, her characterization of Bea, her uncomfortable-to-read but utterly honest sequences of obsession; it all feels completely real. Well done. So very well done. Already ordered for my branch.

If this is gonna be called "OCD Love Story," the author had better get OCD right.
Or else.

I must have this book.
Loved it! I really could feel the angst of the characters and the exposure therapy scenes were so intense. Bea and Beck just want to be normal and it is a battle they fight in different ways every minute of every day. I feel it helped me understand OCD a little bit and how difficult life can be for a person with OCD.
This better get the facts right or else. OCD is serious.
