Things I Shouldn’t Think

Description

An unnerving novel about a seventeen-year-old girl who suffers from a form of OCD that makes her think dark, disturbing thoughts.Seventeen year-old Dani Solomon is not a violent person, but she has violent thoughts. Cruel thoughts. Harmful thoughts. Dangerous thoughts. She thinks about calling her gay best friend a freak . She thinks about knocking her mother off a ladder. She thinks about killing Alex, the child she babysits. To protect Alex from herself, Dani tells his mother. And it doesn t take long for the story to leak, for Dani to be persecuted and ostracized from her community and peers for a crime she hasn t even committed. Janet Ruth Young writes convincingly about mental illness. Dani disorder is based on a real form of OCD and her treatment incorporates actual psychiatric methods, making Things I Shouldn t Think (formerly published as The Babysitter Murders ) an authentic read that is impossible to put down.
