"Everything Is an Emergency is a guided tour into a disordered mind, and the book is an education for anyone not sure what a serious case of O.C.D. does to a person. And even those not afflicted may find their own comfort in one of Katzenstein's epiphanies: 'Find the seconds that feel OK and live in them.'" — New York Times Book Review
“This book undid me in all the best ways. Everything is an Emergency is a brilliant, honest, necessary book that exposes the intricacies of the human brain while showing us the way creativity and friendship can anchor us. This is a must-read for anyone who has ever wondered if they see the world a little differently.” — Ada Limón, poet and author of National Book Award finalist Bright Dead Things
"This deep dive into difficult territory ranges from Munch-like terror to the smiling rock of rock-bottom to the funniest group therapy scene I ever saw. You don't have to have OCD to love this book. You could just love the funny, the dark and the true. I did." — Amy Bloom, author of White Houses
"Everything Is An Emergency broke my heart and then put it back together!“ — Shelby Lorman, author of Awards for Good Boys
