Counting by 7s

This story is about Willow, who is a genius, and suffers a great loss. Both her parents die in a car crash.
I love stories with children who have something different about them and I loved Willow. But really, both her parents die? It sounds very cliche and even she wonders what the probability is.
How Willow reacts to this loss is realistic though. She pretty much closes down.She's not interested in the things that used to interest her and she goes through life without a care. However, she changes people and herself as they go through their life.
This was a good story but it got very slow at some places. The development of the relationships took a good while to start.
However, overall it was a good book.
