Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver
4.0
This is really about 3.5 stars for me, but I'm nice and round up.
The story centers around a woman living in Southern Appalachia, and despite claims at a younger age to getting out of there and moving on, she makes a couple mistakes that keep here exactly where she's at. On her family property, millions of butterflies settle on their mountain during their migration period. Normally, they go to Mexico, but because of the environmental issues there, the butterflies randomly choose the Turnbow farm.
In all honesty, it was an environmental message the entire time. I understand that it's an important thing to take care of the earth, but being hit over the head with it for like 400 times got old. I spent a lot of the book wondering when it was going to end.
