Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes

This was pretty gruesome at times, but a very well-told story. Catherine falls in love with a charming guy, Lee, who seems to be everything she wants in a partner, until he starts being possessive and controlling. Of course, things go downhill quickly from there. The stories about Lee are logged a bit like journal entries from three years prior to the current Cathy's logs, where he's now in jail, and she's struggling through each day with intense anxiety and OCD. I really liked Cathy and her growth over time, and I felt the representation of OCD and the way the relationship changed was believable as well. I read it very quickly— it definitely had me hooked right off the bat. Definitely a good, fast, read.
