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. -Back o' the Book
The subject of this book is very sensitive but I like reading books like that. I have to say, however, that the characters and the way it was written was a little too dramatic for me. Not even the good kind of dramatic but the middle school "my life is horrible" kind of stuff. Willow did go through a lot and she was justified in her pain but after a while I wanted to smack her and tell her to accept the help and get better. I know I'm a hypocrite when I say that but maybe if the characters were more mature I would be a little more forgiving.
It was an alright book. Definitely for a younger group (just not too young). I don't think I would recommend it to many people, but who knows, you may just love it.
