I
thought this was a great book! The story is about a high school age girl, Norah
who suffers from agoraphobia and OCD. It really gives you a great look at what
is going on when someone suffers from this. I also think it helps others learn
what not to say to someone who suffers from this and what things you can say
that may be helpful. Rather than ostracizing someone who suffers from this
because you feel so helpless, this book actually helps let you know the best
way to interact with someone with this illness. I never realized how hard it is
and what someone might be feeling when they have this illness. I also think it
was great to see that just because Norah suffered from this, she was able to
have a relationship with someone and that her future was not bleak and lonely.
I would
highly recommend this for a high school library. There is some profanity but I
think high school age students could handle it. I think this would be a great
book for students to read because they may actually know someone who may suffer
from this illness. It would give them great insight on what someone might be
going through and how they can have a relationship with them. There may be a
someone who is going through this illness and may read this book and realize
that they are not alone.
