Blogging From A to Z Challenge – OCD
There are a number of middle grade and young adult titles that tackle characters with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). I personally know a few people with OCD and their symptoms are very different from each other. And just like the people I know, the characters with OCD in these books all have different symptoms and experiences.
- Every Last Word by Tamara Ireland Stone

I love OCD Love Story. Just re-read it a couple of months ago and was just as drawn in by it as I was the first time. One of my favorite books.

There are lots of great titles that I have read here, and a few that I need to grab soon. I just read Kat Greene Comes Clean, the main character’s Mom has OCD. That was a good one too. Thanks for the list, I just used it to add to my to-read list!
