(4) YA Having spent five years hiding her OCD from friends who value "normalcy and perfection," sixteen-year-old Sam discovers the clandestine Poet's Corner, where she meets new friends she can trust, perhaps even with her secret. Thoughtful first-person narration uncovers challenges of life with OCD. Unfortunately, despite the acknowledgment that Sam's difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality isn't part of her OCD, it muddies the portrayal.
