Kissing Doorknobs

Kissing Doorknobs by Terry Spencer Hesser is about a fifteen year old with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder looking back on her life before she was diagnosed and treated. Reading it so soon after The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon, I missed the immediacy since that book was experienced in real time, while this one was from hindsight. On the other hand, it might have been too devastating without the perspective—particularly since Kissing Doorknobs is aimed at the juvie market. Thanks to my niece for recommending this one!
