Beautifully written, the author captures the intense warmth of the characters, beyond the OCD and illustrates the utter courage and determination needed to survive this insidious illness. This book will change the perception of how people view OCD forever, as the human cost of OCD is laid bare for the reader to see.

That a narrative featuring a young woman with obsessive compulsive disorder is penned by a writer with OCD herself contributes considerable eye-opening authenticity to the novel.

Sometimes you just have to get rid of your best friend to break your own chains.
Every night at eleven o'clock, Sonja demands Finja lock her in. Tonight, Sonja even threatens to destroy Finja's new romance if she stops.
As girls, they both suffered from unloving fathers. Having given each other sanctuary, they became soulmates. But then Sonja's relentless, life-restricting rules forced them to run from Germany until they got stuck in England, never to return.
Their sweet friendship rendered a toxic co-dependency.
Now that Sonja wants to trap Finja forever, she has two options: keep bending to Sonja's will and relinquish all control of her own life, or eliminate Sonja...
Based on a true story about a dysfunctional family, mind games, blackmail, emotional control and dependency, OCD, and a new romance at stake.
