The Butterfly Garden (The Collector, #1)

by Dot Hutchison

“Some people stay broken. Some pick up the pieces and put them back together with all the sharp edges showing.”

“My secrets are old friends; I would feel like a poor friend if I abandoned them now.”

The trouble with sociopaths, really, is that you never know where they draw their boundaries.

Yet if hope has flown away in a night, or in a day, or in none, is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

Three butterflies for a broken girl: one for personality, one for possession, and one for pettiness.

“Not making a choice is a choice. Neutrality is a concept, not a fact. No one actually gets to live their lives that way.”
