Willow (do not read if you are a judgemental person)

Willow. Willow. Sounds beautiful, doesn’t it? What do you think of when you hear the word Willow? Do you think of a tree? Do you think of a girl? Do you think of a dog? I'll bet the last thing you think of is a girl who self-harms. I bet when I say she killed her parents, you won’t think awe, it must have been an accident. You probably think whoa, isn’t that illegal?, or she is a horrible person!. No. just no, guys.

Willow is a young girl I would guess around the age of 16 or 17. she ACCIDENTLY killed her parents in a car crash after her parents had a little too much to drink and asked her to drive them home. It was raining and she only had her temps. She swerved off of the road and crashed the car, her father’s blood soaking her own hair. Now, she prefers her own blood, covering her body. Desperately trying to ridden the memory of that night. Covering up the scars is just one complication. Keeping this secret from her brother, David, his wife, and their young daughter? That’s a whole different story.

Willow has a part time job at the university her brother works act’s library. Here, she spends her time dealing with tough customers and college kids looking for a good read. One day a boy named Guy comes and needs a copy of one of her father’s favorite books. This book is kept upstairs in the part of the library no one visits. Here, Guy and Willow start talking and become acquaintances.

Eventually, Guy finds out about her self-harm issue, and he doesn’t seem to get it.

"Willow lunges for her stash, but it’s too late. Guy is there first. His hand closes around her supplies. He stands up and starts to give them to her, along with a couple of pens, some gum, and the rest of her belongings." 

This is the page where Guy finds out; he finds her razor and says 'hey, I use this brand.'  However, he didn’t mean to cut, he meant to shave. He uses that brand of razor to shave, then he realizes, and he doesn’t really understand.

Crazy thing is, all of this action happened in the first 50 pages. i got all of this detail in the first 50 pages! that is how much detail is included in this text.

I haven’t read much, only about 60 pages, so I will definitely keep you posted,
