PAPER BUTTERFLIES
BY
Lisa Heathfield
Stand By Me meets We Were Liars - a heartbreaking and
stunning breakout novel for teenagers from the award-nominated author
of Seed.
June's life at home with her
stepmother and stepsister is a dark one - and a secret one. Not even her
father knows about it. She's trapped like a butterfly in a jar.
But then she meets Blister, a boy
in the woods. And in him, June recognises the tiniest glimmer of hope that
perhaps she can find a way to fly far, far away. But freedom comes at a price .
. .
Paper Butterflies is an unforgettable read, perfect for fans of Lisa
Williamson's The Art of Being Normal, Sarah Crossan's Moonrise,
Jandy Nelson, Jennifer Niven and Louise O'Neill.
'It broke my heart over and over.
Destined to be one of THE most important books this year.' - Melinda Salisbury,
author of The Sin Eater's Daughter.
'A gripping and harrowing tale . . . best YA proof I've read
this year.' - Charlotte Eyre, The Bookseller.
MY THOUGHTS…
|
This
book touched my heart. The torture that June goes through at home with her
stepmother made me want to cry, but the book was written so well that I just
kept reading until the end.
I was hoping for a happy ending for June. So, as soon as Jacob (Blister) Wick was introduced as a character, June's future seemed to brighten. Blister and June, the two main characters, were my favorite two. This was only to be expected as they are the nicest characters in the whole book (in my opinion). The ending surprised me. I'm not going to give anything away, but there was that small hope at the end which made me wish for a book two to be in my hands immediately. Just when I thought all hope was lost, Lisa Heathfield brought a small ray of sunshine to the last page and hope came back for June. I Highly Recommend this book to anyone as it is one of my favorites and everyone should read it. |
