Every Last Word by Tamara l. Stone

‘EVERY LAST WORD isn’t about OCD. Rather, it is about a main character who happens to have OCD’ (Aimee Rodgers 2015, teenreads).

Part of the popular group at school the ‘crazy eight’, Sam is hiding a secret from her best friends. She has Purely-Obsessional OCD.
When Sam meets a new friend, Caroline, she has to keep their friendship a secret because Caroline is completely different to the crazy eight. Caroline introduces Sam to poetry and soon Sam finds a whole new world where she starts to feel more normal until a new reason makes her question her sanity.
