The Unlikely Hero of Room 13B

The main character and group therapy sessions seemed a realistic portrayal of teens with OCD, with pandering or over-dramatizing. Not many teen books have realistically rendered and authentically meant explorations of Catholic faith as a subplot, so it was nice to have that variance. The issues with the mother were the sole drama and plot propulsion other than the romantic relationship, but they felt both overwrought and underdeveloped at the same time. A relatively sweet book with some new angles but a bit boring overall.
