Description

This is not to say that abuse survivors should not date, but that to a teenager without a support system, reading YA, the idea of a romantic relationship being the only good thing in your life can seem very easy and very appealing, and thus it can be very easy to ignore warning signs. It’s rare for a novel to make me feel so emotionally connected that I’m almost convinced that it’s a reality. I cried for a good half an hour after closing the final pages of this book and I think those tears were a mix of heart break and hope. I can’t say too much about the plot because of spoilers but when *that thing* happened to June, I cried for her. I don't know what to say about this book, apart from the fact that I hated it and somehow couldn't stop reading!

I couldn't put it down because I was so anxious about the outcome, but it isn't the kind of book you'll ever want to read again. What is interesting, however, is the way the book examines cycles of violence and abuse, asking us to consider at the book's darkest moments: what horrors must have happened to Kathleen to make her this way? It may help to hold the folded tip with your thumb while you pull the other pieces down so that the butterfly doesn’t come apart. She so wants to tell her father or teachers about the abuse she is suffering at home but she is so frightened that nobody will believe her that she doesn’t.I feel very proud to be reviewing this book on my blog and my friendship with Lisa by no means affects my views and thoughts on the book in anyway.

Paper Butterflies is an unforgettable read, perfect for fans of Lisa Williamson's The Art of Being Normal, Jandy Nelson, Sarah Crossan, Jennifer Niven and Louise O'Neill. Another thing that I couldn’t wrap my head around was what a certain character was saying about forgiving Kathleen. This really struck a chord with me as a teacher because I would really honestly like to believe that my pupils would feel able to tell me something like this so that I could help to protect them and it really made me think about how huge a responsibility being a teacher is. One that will definitely pull at your heart strings and one that had me addicted to it from the the very first page to the very last.

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! This is sort of a Cinderella retelling: June's mom died and her father re-marries with an awful human being, Kathleen, who has a daughter 1 year younger than June.

But are bitterly cruel -and unkind to June subjecting her to abuse everytime her father isn't there and let's just say that's a lot of the time.

But you can also used plain printer paper and then decorate the butterfly with markers, pencils or even stickers!
