    I highly recommend this book. It's a very delicate story with heartwarming developments. The female protagonist suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, and depression, and the book vividly portrays her through her experiences. Later on, every character is clearly developed, allowing you to feel the multifaceted nature of humanity. It also offers the warmth of family and friendship, and the healing power of love. I think it's a niche book, but very enjoyable, a slow and steady read. The author's dedication is evident in the different endings and epilogues, each offering a unique and satisfying conclusion.
