Obsessive Impulsive Magical Thinking is a collection of thoughts and experiences from someone with a lot of things going on in her brain. It's fantastic for anyone who wants to understand how being autistic or having ADHD and/or OCD can affect a person, from the big life stuff to little daily interactions.

I will always be grateful to Marianne Eloise for helping me figure out why I am unable to convince myself I didn't leave the coffee pot or oven on, even if I didn't use the stupid appliances that day. She writes with an honesty that is not ashamed of how her brain works; she doesn't demonize every aspect of her conditions, nor does she try to be pointlessly uplifting with what she goes through. There was a humor and frankness in her writing that made me feel seen and understood. I was deeply affected by her stories in a way that will help me be more gracious to myself. She also gave me a bunch of new fun facts about Walt Disney to pull out at get-togethers to either entertain or confuse everyone else, much to my delight.

Marianne Eloise joins Jenny Lawson as a writer who shows readers they can laugh and enjoy who they are while also doing the serious work of dealing with mental health issues. - Cat Neely, Schuler Books
