This was just ok. I'd actually prefer to give it 2.5 stars instead of a full 3. The story was a bit too boring for me. This is the first VC Andrews book I've read in years and it wasn't what I expected. Definitely geared towards a younger crowd. ( )

This series is entertaining, but you can tell her ghost writer wrote it. ( )

Butterfly is just a thirteen year old who wants parents who love her. Stuck in an orphanage, she finally has a chance, but she finds outs, the price might just be too high...
This is sums up the book so well. Butterfly fights to be who her new mom wants her to be, a prima ballerina. She ignores her own physical pain, the awful feelings she has and continues to fight all in order to be loved. The author takes you on a journey where you just want to swoop in and protect this fragile girl. Shake the mother and yet, help the mother whose own dreams where shattered. This is an emotionally charged booked that will have readers hanging on until the end. ( )

I grabbed this book on a whim when I was at the library, having heard so many great things about VC Andrews in the past. I enjoyed the book, but it's not among my favorites. I thought the ending was abrupt, forced and not at all what I expected. I'm not quite sure that she's an author I will continue to read, despite having the next 3 books of the series sitting here, waiting for me. ( )

This was a pretty disappointing book; I normally like V. C. Andrews' books, even the ones written by the ghostwriter, but this was just boring and lame. It seems that all of the newer books sound alike and feel rushed. ( )
