When I finished reading Dirty Little Secrets by C. J. Omololu, I had the overwhelming desire to help my mom cut down on some of her clutter. As much as I complain about my mother’s tendency to hang onto things that she doesn’t need, she’s got nothing on Lucy’s mom in Dirty Little Secrets.
This YA novel takes a look at the serious issue of hoarding. It was a powerful novel that pulled no punches. A warning to those who like me have a tendency to read while eating, you might want to avoid eating while reading this one as some of details get a bit graphic.
This is a great novel that tackles a serious subject that hasn’t had much, if any, literary coverage.

Sounds interesting. I’ll have to pick this one up. Thanks for the recommendation.
