Obsessively Compulsively… Complicated.

Libi Newman doesn’t date. Relationship OCD makes it tough for her to date without doubts, so Libi prefers to flit between hook-ups instead, knowing that she can’t sabotage a relationship if it’s not serious. It isn’t ideal, but considering she’s also grieving her mother’s recent passing, Libi can only handle so much at once. Thank goodness for her OCD support group.

Nate Keller has harbored a crush on Libi since he joined the group. While he’s there to address his Contamination OCD, he can’t help but be charmed by Libi and her dark sense of humor. But they’re just friends, and Nate’s okay with that. Really.

When Libi’s summoned to the Newman family timeshare in Mexico for her grandparents’ anniversary, it’s not all margaritas and suntans. Not only is her recently widowed father bringing his new girlfriend, but Libi’s college ex—the one she never quite got over—also shows up...on the arm of her least-favorite cousin. Luckily Nate tags along for emotional support so Libi doesn’t have to face this nightmare vacation alone.

What begins as an innocent promise of friends helping each other quickly turns into a fake-dating scheme—and Nate’s playing the boyfriend role too well. As the lies stack up, Libi has to keep track of her own ping-ponging emotions: are the romantic sunset strolls coloring her perspective…or is she actually wanting to date Nate for real?

“Compulsively Yours gives readers a profoundly realistic depiction of what it’s like to live with OCD, all while being flirty, charming, and hilarious. This book made me feel seen, and I had so much fun reading it!”
