Butterflies Don't Lie BR Myers Books Reviews

Kelsey Sinclair thinks she's a loser, and guess what - she is a loser! I couldn't garner any sympathy for her and her teen angst. She came across to me as obnoxious, judgmental and bratty. Even her devotion to her Down's Syndrome brother Chet doesn't score many points with me.

Yes, she does mature (somewhat) and learn life lessons by the end of the novel, but the passage there is long, tortuous and a little boring. Her behavior at the house party early in the novel would seem like typical teen behavior (drink lots of alcohol, get drunk and do or say stupid things) but the way it was presented, Kelsey came across as a real jerk.

Speaking of being a jerk, even after she gets to know Luke, she still refers to him as how-hole (her brother Chet parroted Kelsey's slur to Luke when they jumped into Luke's path while he was biking)! Really, the author wants we readers to feel some love connection between the two when the female half still thinks of, and refers to the male as an ***hole? Yeah, sure I can hear wedding bells already.

As for that male half, I liked Luke well enough. I didn't fall in love with the character but didn't loathe him either. In fact, of all the characters in the book, it was Francine we captured my attention the most. She just seemed so interesting and intriguing (at least based on what Kelsey said about her), but too bad Fran wasn't really in this book that much.

I almost DNF'ed this book, but trudged through to the end because based on the synopsis, it was oh so obvious Kelsey would come to realize Luke was her true love, and I wanted to see how the author pulls it off. But even then, I still skimmed parts of this book. Thus, as YA or as a romance novel, it was subpar in both respects.
This is a fun story of a teen at a watershed moment -- literally. She's afraid of life but unaware of how afraid she is. She's been crushing on a childhood friend for ages, but in the process of scheming to obtain her crush, she ends up bumping shoulders with another guy, one who's decidedly less safe and starts pushing her out of her comfort zone. The "literal" watershed moment is actually literal -- she's afraid of swimming.

There's a strong message of female mentorship as Kelsey begins widening her focus from "How do I get this guy?" to "How do I become more fully alive?"

My only criticism is the ending -- after Kelsey's mother shows her how to resolve plot B with strength and authority, I wish Kelsey herself had come up with a means of resolving Plot A on her own to demonstrate how much she'd learned from the cast of strong women around her.

Overall, enjoyable, and recommended to anyone who reads YA romance.
