Becoming A Butterfly by Mia Castile has a NEW COVER!!!!!!!

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEW COVER FROM MIA CASTILE!(So excited I had to do SHOUTY CAPITALS!!) This cover is beautiful and the story inside it beautiful.To be honest the cover could be a blank page because the writing speaks for itself.However we are LUCKY that there are covers because they are GORGEOUS!!!Without Further Ado...


Did you know this is a series?



About a Girl named Lacey?



About a few Guys  named Henry


and


 Chase?








Synopsis:
Sixteen year old Lacey was never the center of attention, unless she was tripping, stammering, or being deposited into a pool by the local popular kids. All she wanted was to fit in, until one night when everything changed.
Jade and Tasha, her two best friends, helped her create an online personality that was everything she wanted to be– and it was only the beginning. In doing so, she attracted the attention of Henry, her lifelong crush and next door neighbor. Unfortunately, it was Farrah, her online personality and not herself, he was interested in.
She also attracted Chase, the brooding, quiet, anti-social new kid of Brownsburg High School, who easily figured out her secret and blackmailed her. They forged a friendship that was both unique and complicated.
Lacey must decide if revealing herself to Henry and her entire school as the cool, charming, and funny Farrah is worth possibly losing him forever. She finds herself needing to make an even harder decision than she ever thought possible. When did the lines between truth and lies get so blurred?

Becoming a Butterfly is a story about coming of age and finding yourself when you never knew you were lost.


**This is a MATURE YA FICTION SERIES.**

Butterfly Kisses By Mia Castile

   

   Mia Castile graciously gifted me with a ARC of Butterfly Kisses.I laughed,I squealed,I sighed...In fact I even Cried.Mia has written yet another winner.Butterfly Kisses takes place a few months after Becoming a Butterfly ends.Which is Book 1 in the series and one you will need to read prior to Butterfly Kisses.Reader be warned,It is a deep read many issues are addressed and they are addressed well.
     Butterfly Kisses,Book 2 takes us several months into Lana's recovery from her suicide attempt.She has to deal with her own issues in which she goes to counseling.On top of that dealing with her nemesis from school is the icing on the cake.Lana is befriended by Britt who has her own boatload of issues.I really enjoyed Britt...Just wanted to hug her and tell her its going to be okay. Laney is still dealing the the aftereffects of what happened in Becoming a Butterfly(Book 1). Where she pretended to be someone else and everyone found out..If you haven's read it you must.Luckily She has Chase who is her very best friend..who has hopes of being more.Will He?Well I for one will NOT post any spoilers..How unfair would that be for you my fellow readers?Butterfly Kisses is worth reading and reading again.
      I have only one critique and that is how it ended.Without giving it away lets just say we are very much looking forward to Butterfly Migration (Book 3).Mia has written another wonderful book.It deals with some big issues and the characters with them in ways that are human,Not perfect but Human. Butterfly Kisses is a wonderful read that you should not miss.Pick up Becoming a Butterfly first if you haven't read it prior to Butterfly Kisses.Haven't read anything by Mia Castile?You should,You'll be so happy you did.
Thank you again Mia for writing another winner.Keep up the great work!

From Mia Castile Personally-
I've decided that there's going to be 2 more installments to The Butterfly Chronicles. The Butterfly Migration and a 4th un-named book. More teenage issues to explore, lies to be kept, and love matches to make.

****REVIEW****May contain Spoilers!


     I was Given an eARC of this book to review.This is not the First book I've read by Mia Castle and certainly will not be the last. When I first started this book the name of the facebook type group for their high school reminded me of a movie I had seen on ABC family months ago.You meet Lacey,Lana,Her friends,Chase, Henry and others and realize she doesn't quite fit in with the other kids at school..especially the boy Henry that she has liked since Kindergarten.Henry...Well Henry and I dont get along...Im joking but honestly I just couldn't stand him.I loved Chase..He's a stand up guy.
    In this book you will see Lacey find herself.I think we have all felt like Lacey in high school..wanting to pretend we are something we are not.She is an amazing Young Adult she doesn't see herself as such but she is.This book does contain some mature subject matter but honestly its written so well that..I really dont feel it needed the label as the book was well written and the events were well played out in the story...but that is just my humble opinion.It's a wonderful to story that unfolds....I found putting the kindle down was not an option.Im am very much looking forward to book 2,Butterfly Kisses.I hope to read more about all of the characters.Last but not least..Trapper Keepers are awesome!

This is book worth reading and worth waiting for.Mia Castile Definitely wrote another winner and I hope you enjoy is as much as I did.
