Dirty Little Secrets by C.J. Omololu

Lucy’s mom is a hoarder, like a get on the show "Hoarders" kind of hoarder. Lucy doesn’t tell anyone about her mom and hasn’t her whole life. None of her friends have ever been to her house and the only people who know is her and her siblings. This secret has been kept for a long time until Lucy is faced with a problem where she might have to tell everyone. But still she fights and works to keep it hidden. This book was emotional, controversial and in some way gross. It is wonderfully descriptive and mainly takes place in Lucy's head. If you don't know what living with a hoarder is like this book is so descriptive you practically live it yourself. It takes place in only 24 hours and the pace is perfect. I recommend this book to people who like deep topics, ones that you have to be brave to really delve into. This book is not for the faint of heart or sensitive people. It's dramatic, descriptive, and so deep.
