OCD, the Dude and Me by Lauren Roedy Vaughn (2013). Through quirky, but albeit, truthful journal entries, Vaughn illustrates the humorous, often irreverent and usually awkward coming of age of a seemingly obsessive-compulsive teenage girl, Gabrielle. Readers will enjoy this book based on its quick, colorful chapters and affable main character.
