I‘ve gotten old enough and led an artsy enough life that I‘ve started seeing books in Barnes and Noble that are blurbed by people I know. This book is one of them. Definitely want to read it now!

A frightening insight into the hellish life of an OCD sufferer. Bailey lays bare the inner workings of her mind brilliantly and it is excruciating, exhausting just reading it.

A view of a life lived with OCD that I had no understanding of. It's stressful and exhausting reading about it, I can't comprehend what it took to live like this.

Sad, genuinely heart breaking description of living with extreme OCD. I only realised half way through the book when I was googling some information that it‘s actually a true story - I‘ve done a bit of reading on the author today. Talking about any mental health condition is still very difficult- she does it amazingly.

VickytoriaLou How long did you spend trying to find hidden words on the front cover!? I may have just stared at your picture a little too long haha 6y
SandyW Are there actual words I the cover? I thought it was just a random assortment of letters. 6y
TrishB @VickytoriaLou @SandyW a mixture I think! 6y

#booklust Saw this on my Instagram feed today and added it instantly to my wishlist. The actual post trivialized OCD a bit... but I'm guessing the book definitely would. It is after all a 'disorder' and people actually suffering from it need more understanding..
