Willow by Julia Hoban (Review #13)

"Seven months ago, on a rainy March night, Willow's parents drank too much at dinner and asked her to drive them home. But they never made it - Willow lost control of the car, and both of her parents were killed. Now the only way she knows how to survive and control the pain is by secretly cutting herself. But when Willow meets Guy, a boy as sensitive and complicated as she is, she finds it hard to keep the secret that's written all over her body."

Review:
This book is the best book I've ever read and my most treasured possession. I was reluctant to post this as a review because this book touched me in the most personal, intimate and vulnerable way that it's hard for me to share it with the world. However, this book was not meant to reach out to just one person. That is why I am sharing it. I compel you to read this book if you are currently a cutter, suicidal, or just plain depressed. It will help. I know, because it helped me. This is also the only book that has ever made me cry.

Note: in the UK this book has a different title: Scarred. Just in case you live there and want the book.

Burn for Burn by Jenny Han & Siobhan Vivian (Review #29)

"Lillia has never had any problems dealing with boys who like her. Not until this summer, when one went too far. No way will she let the same thing happen to her little sister. Kate is tired of the rumors, the insults, the cruel jokes. It all goes back to one person - her ex-best friend - and she's ready to make her pay. Four years ago, Mary left Jar Island because of a boy. But she's not the same girl anymore. And she's ready to prove it to him. Three very different girls who want the same thing: sweet, sweet revenge. And they won't stop until they've each had a taste." Review: This book was FAN-TAS-TIC!! I am not for the petty popular girl books, and this is definitely not one of those books. The revenge you wish you got on the person who double-crossed you is finally let loose in one of the best and most inventive ways, and the ending left me jaw-dropped. This is a book everyone should have on their shelf.
