About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is struggling with intrusive thoughts, the pressure of perfectionism, or the isolating nature of mental health challenges. It is a raw and honest exploration of Evie, a young woman attempting to start fresh at a new college while managing Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The story centers on her recovery journey and the transformative power of female friendship through the Spinster Club. While it addresses heavy themes of anxiety and psychiatric recovery, it remains grounded in the relatable humor of teenage life. Parents will find it a valuable tool for normalizing mental health struggles and encouraging open dialogue about the reality of recovery versus the desire to appear normal. It is most appropriate for older teens due to its mature, unflinching depiction of mental illness and the complexities of growing up.
