Goodreads description: Seven months ago, on a rainy March night, sixteen year- old Willow's parents died in a horrible car accident. Willow was driving. Now her older brother barely speaks to her, her new classmates know her as the killer orphan girl, and Willow is blocking the pain by secretly cutting herself. But when one boy - one sensitive, soulful boy - discovers Willow's secret, it sparks an intense relationship that turns the "safe" world Willow has created for herself upside down.



Told in an extraordinary 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. 

Teaser:
     “Her breath deepens with each dip of the razor. Silence reigns, not like when she tripped, but perfect and pure.
     “You couldn’t really saw that something that hurts so badly feels good exactly. It’s more that it just feels right. And something that feels so right just couldn’t be bad. It has to be good.” 

-Pg. 3/4

My teaser is from Halo by Alexandra Adornetto:

"Midway to the ground, I dropped my arms and allowed the transformation to take place. A blinding light shot from inside my body, shining from every pore and making my skin glow like white hot metal. I saw Xavier shield his eyes and draw back. I felt mmy wings burst from behind my shoulder blades. They exploded through the confines of my dress, tearing the light fabric to ribbons."

I previously read this back in October/November and am re-reading it in preparation for the release of its sequel, Hades. I forgot how much I loved this book <3
