THE FALL OF BUTTERFLIES
A uniquely funny and heartbreaking heroine in a teen novel about a passionate-yet-doomed friendship.
Willa Parker, 646th and least popular resident of What Cheer, Iowa, is headed east to start a new life. Did she choose this new life? No, because that would be too easy – and nothing in Willa’s life is easy. It is her famous genius mother’s idea to send her to ultra-expensive, ultra-exclusive Pembroke Prep, and it is only the strength of her name that got Willa accepted in the first place.
But Willa has no intentions of fitting in at Pembroke. She is not staying long, she decides. Not at this school – and not on this planet. But when she meets peculiar, glittering Remy Taft, the richest, most mysterious girl on campus, she starts to see a foothold in this foreign world – a place where she could maybe, possibly, sort of fit.
When Willa looks at Remy, she sees a girl who has everything. But for Remy, having everything comes at a price. And as she spirals out of control, Willa can feel her spinning right out of her grasp. In Willa’s secret heart, all she has ever wanted is to belong. But if Remy, the girl who gave her this world, is slip-sliding away, is Willa meant to follow her down?
Andrea Portes’s incandescent, heartfelt novel explores the meaning of friendship, new beginnings, and the precarious joy and devastating pain of finding home in a place – a person – with wings.
Andrea Portes is the bestselling novelist of one young adult novel and two adult novels. Hick, her debut, has been made into a feature film starring Chloë Grace Moretz, Alec Baldwin, Blake Lively, Eddie Redmayne, and Juliette Lewis. Bury This, her second novel, was published in January 2014 by Soft Skull Press, and her first novel for young adult readers, Anatomy of a Misfit, was published in September 2014.
