As a child, Lily knew she was bad. By the age of 13, she had killed someone with a thought, spread untold disease, and spied on her friends. Only by performing a series of secret routines could she correct her wrongdoing. But it was never enough. She had a severe case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and it ruled her life. A startling true story.

Review of 'Because We Are Bad' on 'Goodreads'

My psychologist recommended I get my hands on this book as “I have a lot of commonalities with the author”.

I consumed this faster than I have any other book in a long time and I cried through it all.

The detail to which Lily shares the goings on of her thought process was incredible; to the point where I found myself shoving my head in my pillow due to some sort of secondhand embarrassment/deep understanding because my mind works in such a similar way.

This gives me hope and I’m so grateful she decided to share her story with such honesty and openness.
