A classic-feeling middle-grade novel with a modern twist about a girl dealing with friendship, family, and OCD.

Finding Perfect

Sarah Sammis

I’ve reached the saturation point of OCD books for middle grade and YA.

Molly suffers most from being written too young. I know she misses her mother. I know she's trying to cope with both the feelings of loss and betrayal as well as her growing need to ritualize her life but she still comes off as three or more years younger than she is. The effect is to make her a less sympathetic and less relatable character.
