OverviewThe true story of an adolescent with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. From her first days, Lily Bailey knew she was bad. By the age of 13, she had killed someone with a thought, spread untold disease, and ogled the bodies of other children. Only by performing secret routines could she correct her wrongdoing. But it was never enough. Her OCD was severe, and it came with a bizarre twist. This page-turner lights up the mind in the tradition of Mark Haddon and Matt Haig.
