Willow.

Are you depressed? If you are you could probably relate to this book. Willow By Julia Hoban. In my opinion this book is the best one I've ever read. It talks about how shes emo. If you don’t know what emo is, it's when you cut yourself or are depressed all the time. This tremendous book, may be the best one you’ve ever read.

The reason I say it could be the best one you’ve ever read is because it could just relate to you. The characters. There are many. Happy, sad, mad, and one who cuts herself. This book is full of things that you could think were disgusting, but remember, someone out in the world does this. Would you be sad if someone you knew did this?

I would be. Its pretty sad knowing that someone your really close to and you love could cut themselves, and die. Or be suicidal. That’s killing yourself because you wanted to or were too scared or were depressed. For most people its because they were depressed. That’s how they end their pain.

The girl in the book goes threw all of that. One night she went out to dinner with her parents. They drank a little too much and asked Willow to drive them home. What happened was farthest from their minds. Willow lost control of the car and now both her parents are dead. She could never forget the sight of her fathers blood in her hair.

Now she lives with her brother and has no other choice. Her life changed all in one day. Now the only way she hides the pain is cutting herself. Her brother never speaks of the day. The incident, or anything about their parents. No one knows if willow will ever stop. No one knows that she cuts. At all.
