About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

Willow....she has gone through soo much with losing he parents and cutting and having to feel like she ruined her brothers life. Then there's this random guy that comes into her life and tries to take it over. Willow and Guy , I'm so happy they make each other happy. Guy helped willow through so much and its makes me happy. I know I was happy when I had someone to help me through my problems. To everyone that has read this, thank you for taking the time to read this amazing book. Have a nice day everyone 😊

I have to say, this book is awesome! I read it in a day. I love how Guy never gives up on Willow, no matter what she says of does. He just wants to help out. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book to anyone who hasn't read it. I am only in middle school, i think this book is amazing. Now my favorite book OF ALL TIME. There are quite a few things going on in this book, but not too much. Guy was such a gentleman. I was literally about to cry during parts of the book. this is a page turner. Read it. :)

If you've ever self harmed, read this book. People who haven't self harmed or dont at least have friends or loved ones who have, maybe don't because you probably will only focus on the "negative" aspects of the book. This book is phenomenal and my all time favorite. I self harmed and everything she feels is how I felt. It's incredible.
