Blurb: By the age of thirteen, Lily Bailey was convinced she was bad. She had killed someone with a thought, spread untold disease, and ogled the bodies of other children. Only by performing an exhausting series of secret routines could she make up for what she’d done. But no matter how intricate or repetitive, no act of penance was ever enough. (Goodreads)

Why is it worth your time?: Bailey writes about her OCD as a separate voice in her head that's been with her since birth. The other entity tells Bailey she is bad and She helps Lily to become good. Pre-treatment, Lily refers to herself in plural, referring to both herself and Her, her OCD, as one. (It is unclear if Lily is plural or not.)

Misc. Notes: I'm not 100% sure if this counts as a plural story but I thought it would be an interesting addition here.
