To Hell With It by Claire Frances is an absolute rollercoaster of chaos, charm, and unexpected heart! From the first page, I was hooked on its witty dialogue, laugh-out-loud moments, and the kind of chemistry that sizzles off the page.

The story blends humor and heart effortlessly, giving us a protagonist who’s equal parts fierce and relatable. Whether it’s the fiery banter, the unexpected twists, or the perfect balance of snark and sincerity, this book keeps you entertained from start to finish.

If you love a sharp, fun, and slightly unhinged romantic adventure with a devilish twist, To Hell With It is a must-read. Claire Frances has delivered a story that’s wickedly fun and impossible to put down! Can’t wait to see what she writes next!

Thank you to NetGalley for the book!

An adorable read! I loved the inside look at a person with OCD. I don't have OCD, so I can't attest to how accurate it is. It's a sweet and adventurous read. The ups and downs of the adventure were entertaining and moved the plot along nicely! The characters had a nice depth and you're rooting for the main character throughout the book. Definitely a fun read!

I went into To Hell With It hoping to have my eyes opened to the life of someone with severe OCD—but what I found was a stream-of-consciousness style that felt more like chaotic bouncing than intentional storytelling. There were moments that hinted at depth, but they got lost in the scatter of disconnected thoughts and narrative threads that never quite came together.

The final straw for me, though, came when the author openly expressed admiration for J.K. Rowling. In 2025, when so many of us are working to protect and uplift trans voices, it's incredibly disappointing—infuriating, even—to see someone still publicly applauding a person known for her transphobia. That one sentence was enough to make me DNF the book.

Wow, wow, wow! Dare I say this is my favorite read of 2025 so far? "To Hell With It" is an incredible story that follows the adventures of Pearl O'Reilly. Pearl is a quirky, relatable woman with OCD who breaks the mold of her own life by facing her fears with remarkable bravery. I was a big fan of "Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine," and this story rivals (or even surpasses!) my love for that book. I 100% recommend it!

Thank you NetGalley and Harper collins publishers for this ARC. To start, I love the cover art! It really is perfect! I was surprised the find this book was loaded with OCDs and really seemed to trigger my discomfort in the beginning and by the end I was cheering. Some amazing characters in this book and I loved the way it wrapped it all up in the end. I would definitely recommend this book

I was lucky enough to receive an E-Arc version of 'To Hell With It' and I can honestly say that I enjoyed it. A lot.

This book is about Pearl, who suffers from OCD and basically how her daily life looks like.
Her OCD is so severe, that even small tasks, such as walking down the stairs, is a lot harder for her.
While a lot of people think, that OCD is just flicking a light switch ten times, this book proves that (in a lot of cases) it's a bit more complicated and diverse than that.
I personally felt, that it was a very realistic description of what it really looks like.

Pearl appears to be totally fine with the way she is, until she woke up to a stranger, who changes her life instantly.
She finds herself challenging herself and doing things that are way other of her comfort zone. Growing and finding herself in a place, that is far away from what she's been used to.

The first part of the book is really hard to get into. It's repetitive and almost seems too slow and boring. I struggled a lot with keeping myself motivated.
But then, close to the second third of the book, it started to pace up and I caught myself not being able to put the book down.
It was very beautiful to see her exploring, facing challenges and growing bigger than she had ever believed to.

The writing was good. You find yourself understanding her character and her choices very easy, while also wishing for her to be more adventurous.
The characters are written interesting, each of them being very different from the other. I liked, that this book was solely about Pearl and her way of finding herself, rather than an actual love story.

The description of this book is what intrigued me, and I think it was apt. I'll be honest and say that after reading the first third, I almost DNF'd it, but when reading an ARC I don't think that's fair consideration (not to mention, I have so much respect for anyone who actually gets a book to this point). I'm glad I continued on. The last two thirds - while predictable - were sweet and worth the read.

This is a funny, relatable, and beautiful story about someone who has to live with mental illness and their attempt to overcome what they can do to make a life with it. Pearl has OCD and it has impacted so many aspects of her life, as mental illness does.

I think the author did a fantastic job showcasing mental illness, but did a better job showcasing being in the mind, or headspace, of someone with OCD. It’s done tastefully with splashes of humor woven in.

It was an emotional journey to see Pearl’s struggles and triumphs as she moved throughout the book. The character growth was wonderful and as always, I love a good book that can make me cry: whether that’s from happiness, sadness, in laughter, and even all three.

I will always root for Pearl…and the woodlice.

This is without a doubt a 5/5 rating from me!

Thank you NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for a review.
