You know how we call ourselves OCD because we have to buy things in pairs (guilty), or like things really neat? It really is not OCD, but more just quirky. You'd know this if you read this book. A group of kids/young adults go to group therapy for a variety of reasons, but they band together. They all have monikers of superheros, and we follow Batman (Adam) who is in love with a new girl Robin. But he has trouble with thresholds, even numbers are evil to him, and his mom is receiving horrific letters at home which only intensifies Batman's issues. This book does not in any way minimize the havoc mental illness creates in a person's life, but it shows a unique way to personalize the people it affects. We don't see OCD Adam, we just see Adam who is trying to get well. It's a feel good book, as well as an eye-opening book. Highly recommended, pretty amazing, and I'm smiling just thinking about the book.
