BOOKS

Pure

Rose Cartwright has OCD, but not as you know it. Pure is the true story of her ten-year struggle with ‘Pure O’, a little-known form of the condition, which causes her to experience intrusive sexual thoughts of shocking intensity. Pure is a brave and frequently hilarious memoir of a woman who refused to give up, despite being undermined at every turn by her obsessions and enduring years of misdiagnosis and failed therapies.

Currently Working On

  • She is currently working on her second book, Body Story, which will be published by The Borough Press
