I think OCDaniel is a story that needs to be told, and can make a huge difference in terms of awareness of OCD and the lives of those affected. I love that the book has plenty of plotlines besides the topic of OCD - it is highly educational without feeling like you are being 'educated'. The writing was so full of heart, and Daniel's struggles feel so real throughout the story.
