I think… I think I actually like him, I thought to myself. Liked him, liked him, just like Jason had called. I loved Olivia’s wit and sarcasm and there were other fun characters that really contributed to this love story. YA romance? Yeah, I’m digging it. June’s classmates would steal, put the stolen items in her book bag, and then tell school officials that they saw June steal it. Nobody believed her. That’s one of my biggest fears in life, being framed for a crime I didn’t commit and not being able to prove my innocence. I’ve had more than one nightmare about that.

Paper Butterflies is an unforgettable read, perfect for fans of Lisa Williamson's The Art of Being Normal, Jandy Nelson, Sarah Crossan and Louise O'Neill. I remember, about a week ago, this book came through my feed. Someone had posted that this book was the most depressing story they've ever read. Well, that was enough to spark my interest. And I am so grateful that I found this compellingly readable, heartbreaking, and inspiring novel. I finished it in only 3 sittings. Suffering produces endurance... And endurance produces character and character produces hope... And hope does not put us to shame.” Take the other piece of paper you cut and fold it in half lengthwise.

I found myself smiling throughout the book and had several laugh out loud moments. Michelle Chamberland did a phenomenal job creating real, relatable characters. It felt like I was in high school all over again. I look forward to reading more books from Michelle Chamberland! Olivia inner monologue is comical and on point. Every thought she had about life, relationships, and her future are thoughts everyone has had at some point in their life. Same can be said for Neil and his struggles to live up to the expectations set for him but also the happiness he wants and desires. Throughout this whole story, the friendship Olivia and Neil built is the cornerstone of their future and the safe haven they both want. They encouraged each other, while also pushing each other buttons, to be the best possible versions of themselves even when it wasn’t what they wanted. It made sense—the small outline of a butterfly I had tattooed on the inside of my arm that I’d caught him staring at a handful of times. I did like butterflies, though I wasn’t sure why. Just another calming thing to look at, I guess—kind of like Neil, really. But my mind had tangled itself up in a mess of thoughts, one screaming out louder than the others: Why the hell was he giving me these? I've learnt that if you're careful, you can hold a butterfly in your hand. And that even if it's been trapped, frightened, in a jar, it still has a chance to survive. Because a butterfly with a broken wing can still fly.”that you then push down and flatten.

The narration is alternated with the "BEFORE" and the "AFTER" parts and I swear you won't ever imagine what is the after part after the actual AFTER! June's recounted tales of the tragedy of her young life are intersected with glimpses at her full-grown self and how she is struggling to cope with and to accept her abuse. Primarily, however, this isn't an adult telling a memoir, but is viewed through the child's perspective as she relives her ordeal. It feels real and each moment is made more heartbreaking because of it.
