" The collision of teen angst and obsessive compulsive disorder fuels the author's autobiography. "

" The author was able to tell her story with her sense of humor intact. Amazing. "

" Traig maintains a sense of humor about her travails. Even when I was wincing at her behavior, I could still laugh because she realized the absurdity of her OCD. "

" The book started off great, then quickly went downhill and never recovered. "

" This is my favorite of the few existing memoirs written by those dealing with OCD. This is one book that gives a realistic look at what it looks and feels like to grow up with OCD. "

" Interesting and funny, though a lot more about religion than I would have guessed from the description on the back. (Oh, how angry I get when the back description is not accurate!) "

" I got bored half way through and stopped reading it. But, I get bored very easily. "

" I loved this book. It was funny and creative for a memoir, and I couldn't get enough of it. It was worth the time looking up the Jewish references to get the jokes behind them. It is a good read for teenage girls and above. "

" You gotta love a book about a Jewish/Catholic OCD teenager. "

" A humorous memoir about severe OCD. Helped me feel better about some of my own. "

" Fascinating and honest read on obsessive-compulsive disorder. Also an inspiring book on the human spirit's tireless work toward recovery. "

" The book was really interesting in the very beginning, but after the first couple of chapters, I stopped caring. I know it's a memoir, but I didn't feel the book ever resolved. I'd have preferred if the author got out of her own sphere for a bit and talked a bit about the way others viewed her. "

" Short choppy paragraphs. Comma overuse. Trite. Too cheesy. Unbelievable anecdotes. "

" Though I'm skipping quickly through the final 50 pages so I can return it today, I found myself engaged with the author throughout the book. She has a delightful sense of humor about her obsessions which enable both the crazy and sane among us to enjoy her story. "

" A young Jewish girl's frankly crazy memoir of growing up with OCD. Truly bizarre and hilarious in some places. It's as much about Judaism, as it is about OCD, which kind of adds to the madness. "
