The Butterfly Girl by Rene Denfeld

4.0

Excellent sequel. Denfeld continues her focus on the power of storytelling and on those society leaves behind, but I also liked her examination of the challenges fiercely independent people face in forging partnerships.

Great quote about storytelling:

What if we are all capable of lying to ourselves? But the story didn’t bother Naomi. Instead it reassured her confirming that the stories we tell ourselves have more meaning than the facts. That doesn’t make them lies. Seeded with every myth was the emotional truth.
