To sign 'obsessed,' start by pointing your dominant index finger to the side of your forehead, similar to the sign for 'think.' Then, hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you with the palm facing down. Bring your dominant hand down in an open-8 handshape—hand open with the middle finger bent forward—and touch the back of your non-dominant hand with the tip of your middle finger, making a slight rubbing or circular motion.
Point to yourself for 'I,' sign 'obsessed,' and then sign 'new book' by sliding your dominant hand over your non-dominant hand and opening your hands like a book.
Point to the person for 'she,' sign 'obsessed,' and then sign 'coffee' by mimicking the grinding of coffee beans with your fists.
Sign 'obsessed,' then 'win' by grabbing an imaginary prize in the air, and finish with a negative headshake or the sign for 'don't.'
