 l writing\, this novel-in-verse conjures a haunting yet hopeful portrait o
 f a girl on the edge. From the author of&nbsp\;Dear Medusa\, which&nbsp\;N
 ew York Times&nbsp\;bestselling author Samira Ahmed called &ldquo\;a fierc
 e and brightly burning feminist roar.&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>Ariel is afraid of h
 er own mind. She already feels like she is too big\, too queer\, too rough
  to live up to her parents' exacting expectations\, or to fit into what th
 e world expects of a &ldquo\;good girl.&rdquo\; And as violent fantasies s
 he can&rsquo\;t control take over every aspect of her life\, she is convin
 ced something much deeper is wrong with her. Ever since her older sister e
 scaped to college\, Ariel isn't sure if her careful rituals and practiced 
 distance will be enough to keep those around her safe any</p>\n<p>more.&nb
 sp\;</p>\n<p>Then a summer job at a carnival brings new friends into Ariel
 &rsquo\;s fractured world \, and she finds herself questioning her desire 
 to keep everyone out&mdash\;of her head and her heart. But if they knew wh
 at she was really thinking\, they would run in the other direction&mdash\;
 right? Instead\, with help and support\, Ariel discovers a future where sh
 e can be at home in her mind and body\, and for the first time learns ther
 e&rsquo\;s a name for what she struggles with&mdash\;Obsessive Compulsive 
 Disorder&mdash\;and that she&rsquo\;s not broken\, and not alone.</p>\nhtt
