Obsessed

Whew. This story was an intense ride for me. I was gripped the entire time by Allison's fixation on what she had to do, on her full certainty of her irrational obsessions. I saw a lot of my own anxiety reflected in her. I don't have OCD, and I don't have obsessions quite like that. But I'm no stranger to a deep and certain conviction that I've done something wrong and there will be consequences for it. And the wide expansive despair that comes with that. This book was really helpful in seeing my own anxious thoughts for what they were, and to step back and disengage from them.
