Publisher Description

Seven months ago, on a rainy March night, sixteen year- old Willow’s parents died in a horrible car accident. Willow was driving. Now her older brother barely speaks to her, her new classmates know her as the killer orphan girl, and Willow is blocking the pain by secretly cutting herself. But when one boy —one sensitive, soulful boy—discovers Willow’s secret, it sparks an intense relationship that turns the “safe” world Willow has created for herself upside down. Told in an extraordinary fresh voice, Willow is an unforgettable novel about one girl’s struggle to cope with tragedy, and one boy’s refusal to give up on her.

"When i bought the book i wasnt expecting much because it seems like the ordinary story about the girl with problems, but once i picked up the book i couldn't put it down. Loved the book!!! Its interesting, and keeps you in your toes, for a bit more. Willow is the hope for finding that person who will come into our lives and saves us from our troubles. I definitely recommend you to read this book."

    " My best friend really liked this book and generally we have around the same taste in books but not in this case. I realize in the book Willow feels horribly guilty for what happened but the author stresses this so many times that I stopped feeling sympathetic and started to wish she would hit a major artery. I can clearly see how someone in this situation would blame the event on themselves but the author stresses this way too much. At least 50 pages of this book is just Willow constantly stating that everything is her fault. This book dragged for me and I feel like I would have liked it better if it were a lot shorter. "

    " It kind of reminded my of the Good Samaritan story, a lot of people know that she's cutting but they don't want to help her. Then Guy comes along and she says that he doesn't have to help her , but he feels like he needs to. I loved the ending! "
