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 elson, Jennifer Niven and Louise O'Neill.
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.
