With the warmth and charm of Bridget Jones and a main character as unforgettable as Eleanor Oliphant, this is an irresistible debut about a young woman navigating love, friendship and happiness in a world that doesn't think like she does.

Pearl O'Reilly is twenty-seven (nearly twenty-eight). She likes salmon pink, the number three and going to the pub with her best friend Una the same night each week. Thanks to her OCD, her other routines - from counting her way downstairs to obsessively washing her hands - pose more of a problem.

But that's all about to change. Because it's time for Pearl to say to hell with it - starting with the gorgeous naked man in her bed this morning...

Bridget Jones with OCD, this heartwarming romcom is the perfect feel-good read for 2025
