The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison
5.0
challenging dark emotional sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Wow, this was intense! 

Right from the start you were thrown into the story and got to know the main characters. I really liked how the story was told in dual timelines as well. I didn't even mind that there weren't properly marked chapters but only little dividers when the timelines switched. 

The story itself is absolutely horrific and I don't want to imagine something like this happening in real life. Nonetheless, I really couldn't put the book down and read it within a few days during Summerween. I will definitely pick up the other books in the series soon! 

But please be aware of all the trigger warnings since it got pretty graphic when explaining all the things that happened in the garden.
