The author spent too much time pointing out over and over and over again that she came from a mixed faith family.
She also kept pointing out that she looked so Jewish etc. I looked at photos of the author online and honestly if I saw her walk by me I wouldn't automatically think "she is Jewish".
Her struggle with OCD was interesting and what was more interesting was her parents reactions to it. Her mother and father seemed quite funny/witty and I would have loved to have heard more about them. Her mother in particular seemed like a very interesting/funny woman.
There is one photo in the book and really it would have been great if there had been more, especially as the author refers to her looks,clothing many times but she also specifically mentions photos from her Bat Mitzvah and also pictures from a trip to France.
Some parts were really good/interesting and then in too many parts the author just kept pointing out that everyone in her family had different religious beliefs(Her family came off very tolerant and accepting of what her beliefs were so why she kept bringing it up I don't understand)
