Yes, No, & the Infinity in Between

by Corrine Dalton

For Marlow Preston, nothing feels certain: her mother’s new relationship, her father’s promises, the meaning of the violent thoughts that bombard her mind. . . On that front, at least, she’s finding answers.

With her recent diagnosis of OCD, she finally feels some of the certainty she’s been chasing. At a local support group, she even finds like-minded people who understand her unique challenges—and Teddy, the insufferable boy who brings his little sister.

Despite their mutual dislike of one another, they become unlikely allies as the two of them—with an ounce of spite—push each other to overcome their fears. But even with the work she does to improve her anxiety, the problems at home only increase.

As the bad feelings between her and Teddy dissipate, however, she may find he’s the one person she needs to help her get through—and just maybe the one person she wants. And with her growing support system beside her, maybe she’ll even see that certainty isn’t worth the chase.

An immensely powerful depiction of finding comfort in the most unlikely of places, all while your mind is its own worst enemy……
This story pulls you in and just does not let go. We walk through Marlow’s life with her and that means feeling all of the things she is feeling, no matter how much it hurts our hearts at times, and seeing how life affects each of the large and small connections that she has with others.
We share her victories and learn from her missteps.
Wonderfully eye opening to a piece of a stranger’s story that is usually kept so protected. That vulnerability is what drew me in from the first page.
Marlow’s story will stick with me forever.

I LOVED this book!! It flows really well and I really like how we get to hear Marlow’s thoughts, like what's going on inside her head, or running through her mind. And the support group in the story really helped me understand OCD better without it being too preachy. I also really loved seeing the character growth from everyone throughout the story - it makes them relatable. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a cute, funny, realistic enemies-to-lovers story 😁

This book is wonderfully written! I really enjoyed the characters and, above all, how it helps readers understand what living with OCD is like. I believe this story will help many young people who may be struggling with OCD, whether they know it or not. It can provide comfort and make them feel less alone, encouraging them to reach out for support, just like Marlow and her friends did.

AMAZINGGGGGG!! This book did such an amazing job at being both fun and informative. Not only did I learn a lot about OCD, but she did it in a way that showed the seriousness of it while still having fun banter between characters and making you fall in love with them. Did an amazing job on making you feel happy when the characters are happy and sad when they are sad.

It was terrific! Each chapter kind of ended in suspense so you want to keep reading.
