A friend of mine gave me the most coveted of all gifts (to me anyway)... a gift certificate to Barnes & Noble! Yes! I can go get a nice shiny new book... oh, there's nothing better in the whole wide world! I knew I wanted the new Frank McCourt book, but I wasn't sure what else... then I saw this book. The cover has these perfect rows of M&Ms lined up... I *had* to buy it. It called to me...
I'm glad I did. What a delightful book! It's a memoir of this girl who grew up in the 70s, is Jewish (and decided to be Orthodox no less!) and has OCD. I learned a lot about the Jewish way of life, but even more about OCD. The way the two intertwine is really funny. The author does a wonderful job of portraying herself, her disease and keeping her sense of humor. A great memoir!
