Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

This was a teen romance, but it was about a disabled girl and a boy who suffers from OCD.   While no doubt the fact that they were full characters who developed over time helped my love of this novel, it was the realism that really struck me.   

Amy's family was overly concerned about her being safe, especially her mother, to the point where Amy lost out on some crucial experiences in life.   Amy wanted to live life, to mingle, to just be a girl - and this conflict was not drawn out, although it was present throughout from beginning to end.   It was realistic, and it enveloped everything in Amy's life.   She was stifled and suffocating until she met Matt, who told her some ugly truths that everyone else avoided telling her because  of her condition. 

The OCD never goes away; love doesn't cure Amy.   As both of these two people slowly progress towards completely being at peace with their own conditions, they are also always struggling withe these conditions.   

It's real, it's amazing, and I found myself drawn into this world and these characters lives.  Loved, loved, loved!
