Me, Myself and Them by Dan Mooney

Review by Nancy Definitely a tear jerker, Me, Myself & Them by Dan Mooney is not what I was expecting, I will say this book is not for everyone. But Mooney didn’t give us all sad, there were some light moments and some funny moments. A well written book that touches on a tough subject, mental health. We never know what to expect after a tragedy, there is no how to deal with tragedies manual, and everyone copes differently. This is the case of Denis Murphey. He has a severe case of OCD, has completely isolated himself, can not bear to be touched, and lives with his four “roommates” also known as monsters. Denis has a routine he follows meticulously, there is not a second that is unaccounted for. The only chaos in his life is created by his “roommates” and keeping after them is what keeps Denis feeling in complete control. When his ex girlfriends comes back into his life, he feels like his world is being altered and Denis has a hard time coming to terms with the outside world. He is faced with a reality he had hidden away for so long. Mooney did an excellent job with this book. Is it something everyone will enjoy, not likely, but I sure did! Although the subject was tough, I found myself laughing, shaking my head, and hurting for Denis and the secondary character. Most definitely worth giving this book a try!
