5 Star Review
Butterfly is the third instalment in Stacy Goforth’s Lancaster series, a bittersweet conclusion to the family saga readers have grown to love. The book follows Dylan, the second Lancaster sibling, as he struggles with grief, anxiety, and so much anger. Leaving his small town behind, Dylan heads to New York in an attempt to outrun the gloom, drinking, and terrible choices that haunted him in Titusville. Enter Lucy Patel, the quirky, big-hearted neighbour who tends the rooftop butterfly sanctuary. She is warm, uplifting, and endlessly kind, yet beneath her bubbly personality, she struggles with living in the shadow of Amber, her glamorous model sister, and constantly questioning whether anyone will ever truly see her. As they spend more time together on the rooftop, they fall for each other. Although Dylan is convinced he is too damaged for Lucy, is there still a chance for a happily-ever-after?
Dylan’s arc is arguably the most challenging of all the siblings. I was nervous going into his story after watching him stumble through so many wrong decisions in the earlier books, even edging into villain territory. Butterfly turned out to be a story of metamorphosis, vulnerability, and redemption. Lucy and Dylan are two hurt souls, healing, loving, and helping each other. The chemistry is undeniable, but friendship, banter, and secret rendezvous are the building blocks for their relationship. Butterfly ties the Lancaster family’s stories together. The most emotional of the trilogy, Stacy Goforth’s finale is authentic and witty and does not shy away from serious topics like grief, self-doubt, depression, and mistakes.
