Welcome to Litsy!

I thought Riva did a phenomenal job and conveying the struggle of mental illness in a way that could also be relatable to those with similar struggles.
Despite these great points about the book, I found I just personally wasn‘t a big fan of the writing style: often choppy and a bit jarring to read. Plus, it seemed there was much more “tell” than “show.”

‘The Existence of Amy‘ is a great book which opens your eyes to the struggles that others may be going through. It tells a powerful, and at times heart-warming, message from the point of view of a young woman with OCD and depression. 4 stars from me!

My full review is up on my blog now 📚

This book is all about Amy, who has a job, some great friends that she meets from her work. She wants a relationship and everything else that appears to be “normal”. What you get is a story about a girl struggling with OCD and Depression. Riva gives a great own voices story about how Amy struggles with practically everything,
