Pure by Rose Cartwright

4.0

Omg THANK YOU ROSE for writing this book. I ordered it to be sent from England because there was nothing like it in Australia. Yes there are books about OCD, but not about Pure O and not written by young women. I had no idea it existed until it happened to me, and I wished I had a book like this. I’m so glad I now know it is out in the world.

I don’t agree completely with everything in here about OCD treatment (eg. I don’t think anxiety and OCD can necessarily be disentangled within in a person, and the treatment of each is different), but the book is bold, engaging, thought-provoking (no pun intended) and an important story to tell. I’m going to try to pass on my copy to someone else who needs it as much as I did.
