Recommendations are appreciated! My preference is that somewhere in the book or blurb it's specifically stated the MC has OCD but if you have OCD and have felt seen by a book I'll take those suggestions too ☺️

Thank you for this list! There is one particular story in Eric LaRocca's The Trees Grew Because I Bled There that made me feel so seen. And the author has said that they have OCD
