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.

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

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!

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!
