Juan Pablo and the Butterflies by J.J. FlowersMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Amidst a horrible situation where two Mexican young adults are struggling to make it to America and safety from the vicious drug lords that are trying to find and kill them, there is a bit of magical realism woven into the mix. The writing is beautiful. There are some very intense situations (murder, almost rape, drugs) and quite a few profanities (including the f-word multiple times). The sense of hope that pervades the pages though makes the rough spots bearable.
