Book Title: Willow
Author: Julie Hoban
Review:
16 year-old Willow has a lot of issues: she accidentally killed her parents in a car crash, she lives with her brother with whom she can't talk about the accident, and she is secretly a cutter. Then she meets Guy, an innocent, wonderful boy who will do anything to help her ease the pain. They develop a complicated and intense relationship that will change her - forever.
This was an amazing, heart-gripping novel of loss, pain, friendship, and love. It was emotionally raw, disturbing, fascinating, addicting, and lovely. It had my eyes welling up with tears about every 5 minutes. It was beyond powerful and hard to put down! I highly, highly recommend this book to mature readers.
