I won a free giveaway paperback copy from The Reading Teen3.5 stars: For Lo, for being different, and the mystery that was alright at first.If you’re looking for a mystery, I wouldn’t recommend it. If you love YA with different characters dealing with issues, I can definitely recommend The Butterfly...

The Butterfly Clues certainly has a lot going on at once: between family issues, an unlikely friendship, and a murder, there is a lot to keep track of. All of these seemingly unrelated threads are captivating in their own right, and Ellis expertly weaves them together in a stunning finish that I cou...

You guys.I'm in love.I know, I know. The book's not perfect, you say. The ending was contrived. The descriptions didn't seem realistic, just like some of the plot twists. Lo may not have OCD but instead has repetitions as a coping mechanism but it's not as accurate as it could/should be.I hear what ...

The Butterfly Clues was a surprisingly entertaining read. With a uniquely tortured yet vibrant main character and an atmospheric setting, the words sucked me into Lo's world.

"The Butterfly Clues" erzählt die Geschichte von Penelope (Lo) Marin. Lo leidet unter Zwängen, wie das Sammeln (ja, Horden) von eigentlich unnützen Gegenständen (die für sie etwas ganz besonderes sind), sie fühlt sich bei bestimmten Zahlen wohl und andere Zahlen sagen ihr, das etwas schlimmes passie...

Audiobook: The audiobook was even better than the book! The reader Therese Plummer was fantastic! She didn't have to grow on me, as most audio readers do. She was brilliant from the very beginning. She could read each character with such a unique voice. Plus at one point Therese totally broke out in...

Butterfly Clues has a great premise, an OCD girl who becomes obsessed with discovering why a girl she never even knew was murdered. We follow Lo who has a major OCD habit with a variety of things, such as entering locales, how her objects are laid out etc.. I can relate to her OCD habits (I myself p...

This was a very tough one to rate. I really liked the narrator's voice, although I don't think that the first person present tense added anything to the story here. The narrator has enough quirks with her OCD that the "unrealness" of the tense was distracting. The other characters were also intrigui...
