Publisher's Summary

Filled with moments of deep emotion and unexpected humor, this understated and wise novel explores the complexities of living with OCD and offers the prospect of hope, happiness, and healing. Perfect for listeners who love Eleanor & Park and All the Bright Places.

Adam’s goals:

  • Grow immediately
  • Find courage
  • Keep courage
  • Get normal
  • Marry Robyn Plummer

The instant Adam Spencer Ross meets Robyn Plummer in his young adult OCD support group, he is hopelessly, desperately drawn to her. Robyn has an hypnotic voice, blue eyes the shade of an angry sky, and ravishing beauty that makes Adam’s insides ache. She’s also just been released from a residential psychiatric program - the kind for the worst, most difficult-to-cure cases; the kind that Adam and his fellow support group members will do anything to avoid joining.

Adam immediately knows that he has to save Robyn, must save Robyn, or die trying. But is it really Robyn who needs rescuing? And is it possible to have a normal relationship when your life is anything but?

Touching and terrifying

A look into OCD behaviours that while told in a mostly light-hearted way, gives a scary glimpse on how people with OCD suffer. Amazing book, and excellent narration.
