Willow

Check out the original review on my blog here

I liked this book, however I didn't appreciate some of the ways that Willow's cutting was dealt with. I did understand how Willow could blame herself for her parents' death because she was the one driving the car, but with the fact that her parents had been drinking it's kind of like would it had still happened. I just couldn't get around the fact that two parents would allow their child drive in a terrible storm knowing that she doesn't have a driver's license (only a learner's permit). It didn't seem like her parents were being too responsible.

I didn't think that Guy was a good person for Willow, he just didn't deal with things in the most healthy way for Willow. Overall, I thought the book was really good. I'm not really familiar with people self-harming. Like I know there are people who cut themselves and people who starve themselves, but I never understood it. I'm not saying that this book is the perfect representation of the topic, but it did give me a little insight into the topic.
