Fall of Butterflies
Fall of Butterflies | Andrea Portes
10 posts | 9 read | 7 to read
We Were Liars meets Looking for Alaska in a uniquely funny and heartbreaking teen novel about a passionate-yet-doomed friendship set against a backdrop of wealth and glamour.Willa Parker, 646th and least-popular resident of What Cheer, Iowa, is headed east to start a new life. Did she choose this life? No, because that would be too easy and nothing in Willa s life is easy. It s her famous genius mother s idea to send her to ultra-expensive, ultra-exclusive Pembroke Prep, and Willa has no intention of fitting in. But when she meets peculiar, glittering Remy Taft, the richest, most mysterious girl on campus, she starts to see a foothold in this foreign world a place where she could maybe, possibly, sort of fit in. When Willa looks at Remy, she sees a girl who has everything. But for Remy, having everything comes at a price. And as she spirals out of control, Willa can feel Remy spinning right out of her grasp.Andrea Portes, author of the hilarious, heartbreaking Anatomy of a Misfit, spins a similarly incandescent, heartfelt story that explores the meaning of friendship, new beginnings, and the precarious joy and devastating pain of finding home in a place a person with wings."

Mehso-so

Eehhh!! From the start I don't like the narration of the character, I thought that it will change at the middle of the story but.... NO:( aside from that I like the friendship that is involve in the story. It's just the writing style that doesn't match to my taste😟😫😣😣

A beautiful book cover with a great title that totally disappointed me this year.

And I give up on this book...I'm just going to quietly say I don't recommend it- I really don't want to rant right now so, here's me quitting the book with no further comment.

Nope... I gave it 50 pages, NOTHING happened. This book is no show all tell. While there are definitely some people who will dig Willa's snarky-borderline insufferably rude-narration, I do not... at all. I hate bailing on books, but I just couldn't get into the character and that's all this book is.

That thing where you get really nervous because a book you've been dying to read opens with really offensive ableist language and you're scared to keep going...

StephTKO I'd be curious to see the offending quote. 8y
KatyAliceReads @StephTKO it's a whole few pages where the narrator describes the people around (a person with a severe allergy, a person with headgear and worst a person with obsessive compulsive disorder) as "freaks" repeatedly. 8y
StephTKO @Katy Alice :/ no me gusta 8y

When the one you love has wings, how can you keep them from the sky?
