I actually liked this book more than I thought I would while reading the first few chapters. I was anxious for the story to unfold and I thought all the back-story was unnecessary bumph. Then I finally relaxed and realized that the bumph was really the whole point of the story. Sometimes I find books like these that endlessly examine relationships, emotions, reactions to trauma and character flaws to be neurotic and annoying (eg. Inside by Alix Ohlin) but this book walked that very fine line and kept me interested instead. I was uncomfortable with the pervasive butterfly details and metaphors, but only because I am irrationally creeped out by butterflies.
