YA
Norah, who has debilitating OCD, anxiety, and agoraphobia, unexpectedly meets handsome new neighbor Luke. As a sweet romance (begun through passed notes) blossoms, Norah begins to re-evaluate her negative self-perception and sets previously unimaginable goals. Norah's sharp wit and honest pain make her a compelling narrator, and the portrayal of a love that matter-of-factly acknowledges and accommodates mental-health challenges is welcome.
