Willow: It's hard to keep a secret when it's written all over your body
"Seven months ago, on a rainy March night, sixteen-year- old Willow's parents drank too much wine and asked her to drive them home. They never made it—Willow lost control of the car and her parents died in the accident. Now she has left behind her old home, friends, and school, and blocks the pain by secretly cutting herself. But when Willow meets Guy, a boy as sensitive and complicated as she is, she begins an intense, life-changing relationship that turns her world upside down.
Told in an arresting, 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."

I just read Willow last night, I thought it was really good. It was a little bit triggering in places even though I don't usually get triggered by things like that. I couldn't believe that Guy stuck with her through everything that she did and because she kept pushing him away...It sucks that there are practically no real guys like the one in this book, it would be really nice to have someone around who accepted you despite knowing all your faults and dark secrets.
