Paper Butterflies

Product Information

All words that can be used to describe this powerful novel from the lovely Lisa Heathfield. Paper Butterflies made me feel irrationally angry and left me feeling broken hearted whilst simultaneously filling me with hope. I think it is safe to say that Lisa Heathfield is a master of pulling on our heart strings whilst dealing with the most sensitive and difficult of topics. I am NOT okay. Paper Butterflies is very compelling, but read it when you are in a good mental place. An extra warning to those sensitive to scenes of physical and psychological abuse. He was right side up, and I was upside down, and I didn't want to live with two feet on the ground, I was happy in my chaos, and he was the straightest arrow I'd ever seen."

June's father has remarried to a woman who he believes is wonderful. June now has a step mother and step sister. Who are sweet and light on the surface when other people are around. But are bitterly cruel -and unkind to June subjecting her to abuse everytime her

Paper Butterflies by Lisa Heathfield - Fantastic Fiction

TW: heavy depiction of abuse, including force-feeding, gaslighting, racially charged abuse, a lot of not believing victims, favoritism. Heavy discussion of the death penalty. 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? How much fear must Megan live in to assist her mother in abusing her stepsister? We are reminded that no one is born evil. Heathfield wrote a good story, pinging my heart and soul, while tearing at my anger. She created harrowing scenes I wished to skip, but could not. Trigger warning: Some scenes set clear and bleak instances of abuse, especially if one's experienced similar mistreatment. I felt I witnessed these abuse while standing behind June. While I did not cry, I yearned to help a fictional character I know truly was not fictional. I kept screaming (to myself), "Speak up! Stop suffering." Alas, nothing's ever simple. I never truly spoke up myself and saw myself projecting what I should have done in my past. No, literally. Neil was holding up two paper butterflies. But there it was—butterflies in both the literal and figurative sense. 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.Unfold the paper and cut along the crease line.

PAPER BUTTERFLIES is her beautiful and heart-breaking second novel. FLIGHT OF A STARLING is another heart-breaking read with an important message. 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... that you then push down and flatten. I call this the triangle house shape fold or corner folds – as this is used to make a simple origami house too!

Stand By Me meets We Were Liars - a heartbreaking and stunning breakout novel for teenagers from the award-nominated author of Seed. Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments Yes, this is a story of how June's entire world failed her again and again and again. And yet it is also a story about June's ceaseless fight to hold onto her sanity throughout, and to embrace joy wherever she caught even the slightest glimpse of its existence. It's a story of human nature, of the past repeating itself, time and again, until something happens to break that cycle. It questions our assumptions. It tests us, setting us up to feel this way or that about a character, then makes us reevaluate the criteria we utilize in making such decisions about people: whom to like, whom to dislike; who is basically GOOD, and who is NOT; ARE some people BORN evil? Or are we in fact all born GOOD?? Do we ever truly know ANYONE???Very confronting story about child abuse. June's narration is equal parts repellent yet fascinating. Butterfly Notebook, Positive Affirmations, Diary, Daily Journal, Spiral Notebook, Line Ruled, Paper Cover, Boho, Collage Art, Cottage Core June and Blister. Oh my lovely, lovely Blister. Just as June is struggling to see any light in her life she meets her darling Blister and his enormous, loving family. I adored their friendship and blossoming relationship from the very bottom of my heart. There was something so pure about the way in which they found each other and spent their time together. There are some truly heartbreaking moments between them but Blister truly is a ray of bright, sparkling light in June’s life throughout this book.

But then June meets Blister, a boy in the woods. In him, she recognises the tiniest glimmer of hope that perhaps she can find a way to fly far, far away from her home and be free. Because every creature in this world deserves their freedom… But at what price? I liked this one better than SEED, but perhaps that was just because I could relate to BUTTERFLIES more. This is one of those books you NEED to read. If you've ever been in the mood to have your entire fiber being completely shattered- look no further. From the moment we start reading, we know, we can literally feel, that June is living a terrible nightmare. Her step mom and sister by marriage torture her, and her dad apparently has no clue. Sadly, June is subjected to similar abuse at school. Yet, nowhere does anyone around her think to inquire about her situation. As the book goes on things escalate and escalate and as you see June grow. Then something comes along to strike her down again. Anyone who has read Seed will know that it’s not only Lisa’s writing that’s powerful but Lisa’s endings are just as powerful and will make any reader a huge hot blubbering mess of tears…..a bit like me after I finished reading this book.

But there was a contrast of light and dark in his eyes that was suddenly fascinating, and the subtle curve of his lips as they lifted into a smile… I could hardly remember what had been bothering me all day. Bend the top layer of the tip over the base. There are 2 layers at the tip of the triangle. Peel the top 1 forward, folding it over the wide triangle bottom you’re currently holding in place. The tip will be the head of the butterfly. [6] X Research source This would not bother me as the attitude presented by a character. However, the priest is very clearly framed as the most correct character in this book. This is the attitude presented by the book towards forgiveness. I don't think it's a good one. A heart-wrenching exploration of grief, set in a landscape corrupted by fame and the scrutiny that comes from living in the shadow of a star. An emotional tale of an abusive childhood, growing up, friendship, love, forgiveness and choosing left or right.

I love that Michelle Chamberland made Olivia a strong woman. The dynamics between Olivia and Neil made it so fun to read this book, not just the story line but the dialogue between the two. Sometimes I could relate to Olivia's inner banter, which is one of my favorite parts of books. Neil always seemed to respond genuinely towards Olivia. Neil was pure, and honest, and kind-all the good things this world had to offer, and yet his kiss... stars. is it an earth-shattering and fantastically written read? not exactly. but is it a heartbreaking story on racially-charged child abuse and trauma? absolutely.Are the best books those where the author is so convincing that it becomes hard to separate the book you are reading from reality? If so, Paper Butterflies deserves all the stars. I had to keep reminding myself that it wasn't real for the sake of my sanity. I recently said in my review of Allegedly that the best books are those that make me furious for the characters, but this book made me beyond furious - I felt terrified. I would like to thank Lisa Heathfield & Egmont Publishing for my copy of the ARC. Due to this kind gesture, I have decided to leave a review.
