Willow - Julia Hoban
Seven long months ago, Willow’s parents died in a terrible car accident. The twist? 16 year old Willow was driving. She secretly begins cutting herself to block the pain. It is working for her, until one boy, named Guy, discovers her terrible secrets- and threatens to tell her brother. How will he react? How will she? Can Willow forgive herself? Will her brother forgive her? The questions keep building until Willow feels like she can’t take it anymore. Will this boy help her? Or just make things more complicated?
This book is more than a ‘self-harm book’- it is the story of struggle, of forgiveness, and of sorrow. I strongly encourage you to read it.
