Blood Wounds by Susan Beth Pfeffer
3.0
Such an intense novel. I found myself holding my breath at certain points because I truly felt the emotions that Willa was feeling.
However, sometimes I felt like I didn't know what I was supposed to be feeling. The beginning made it seem like Willa's family was such a perfect blended family and I thought that when the drama started, her family would be there for her. Also, Willa's cutting was introduced. Then the murdering dad was introduced. And later physical abuse was introduced. And the blended family wasn't so happy. Just lots of stuff. Now, I know that book was about secrets and the family definitely had a ton, but I just wish that Susan Beth had focused just on the secret of Budge and built it up without adding the rest.
Even still, I ended up enjoying the book. Liked how Willa evolved in the book and found it interesting throughout.
