A review by dmwhipp
The Memory of Butterflies by Grace Greene

2.0

Hannah Cooper grows up strangely sheltered way in a hollow in a small Virginia town. Raised by her grandparents due to her parents death Hannah is happy with her life, despite her lack of friends. She chooses to delay college to care for widowed grandmother, and Hannah soon faces an unplanned pregnancy. Deception follows, old secrets are revealed, and the problem those cause down the road create a reckoning.

Though Hannah had lead what on paper was an interesting life, I found her rather vanilla and never forged a connection with her or any of the characters. Despite this being a relatively short book, it felt long and the plot dragged, with often predictable elements. Moving on.
