Unfortunately something went wrong with my ARC download and since the ARC has been archived now, I can't read it anymore. The blurb sounded very interesting though and I wish I could have read it. Hopefully, I will be able to read it in the future once it officially releases.

2.75 stars rounded up. I wanted to like this one, but unfortunately I didn’t like or care for any of the four characters, and that made it quite a struggle. I did guess some of the big twists, so that was good. It was clever and intricate, with the constantly changing viewpoints, but the unlikeable characters and the fact that the big twists came so late into the story (about 67 and 81% in) meant this one wasn’t quite hitting the spot for me personally. I am sure though, that others will enjoy it though fair warning on some difficult themes - I don’t think I’ve ever done some many content warnings on Storygraph!

I received a free ARC copy of this via NetGalley and the publishers in return for an unbiased review.

Follow the Butterfly was one of the strangest books I have read recently. Told from four points of view each person is very interesting and even more so when you realize that none of them are who they appear to be, and they are frankly all in need of psychiatric help. If you like psychological thrillers that are heavy on psychology you will love this.

I couldnt put this down and flew through it in a matter of hrs!! I think that probably helped since it meant I wasn't forgetting who wad who when I went back to it later so it all worked out perfectly for max enjoyment. This book had me all over the place, I had no clue what was going to happen next and couldn't stop reading til I found out. I loved how different it was and just how the characters never did the predictable which made for such a fun read

I read it in a day of travel. Easy read, but it did get a little much with the various POVs, especially at the end it got muddied. Overall, a good concept of a book…gives a little The Silent Patient meets Frida McFadden. 3.7/5 stars

I loved this book. The way the main character thinks and acts so unpredictably, the twists to the plot and the overall premise were brilliant. I raced to the end and can't wait to read more from this author. Highly recommend!

Amazing book. My first by this author. I loved that it's told from multiple POVs. Some ppl don't enjoy that, but it's one of my favorite aspects of a good thriller. I can't wait for part two. 5 big stars!!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book

To be honest i did struggle with this book. It has four different POV and I kept having to go back to remember who and what.. that maybe just me though..

That said it is a twisty and drama filled story that is well written with a brilliant plotline.

I loved it

This was everything that I was hoping for from the description. The mystery element worked well in telling this story and was hooked from the first page. The characters felt like they were meant to be there and enjoyed the way Martta Kaukwrote this.

Wow. Okay so this isn’t an easy read as it’s 4 different points of view so it can get a little tricky in places as the writing style is very different however you do get used to it.

I thought this was an incredible twisty, mystery book. I didn’t expect the ending and just thought the whole book was great! Can’t wait for the second one

This translated Finnish book is written in short, punchy chapters from four points of view. It's the story of a disturbed woman who seeks out a therapist with the intention of having someone who will vouch that she's unhinged if she's ever caught, ensuring that she doesn't get a prison sentence but instead goes to a psychiatric unit.

The mix of narrators and the direct address to the reader worked well. The twists were well plotted and also worked but weren't especially mind-blowing.
I liked the pace of the book but for a book about a psychologist it felt psychologically clumsy and the character motivations and traits were oblique at times. I don't know if this was down to the translation but the dialogue occasionally felt clumsy and unrealistic. I often felt like I was reading something that had been written rather than it having any sense of reality. Occasionally the language also felt odd with archaic words like 'hullabaloo' that are rarely used.

It's an oddity in terms of style and firm but didn't quite work for me
