“I know,” I say to him, taking his hand. “Butterflies aren’t the same.”

The premise of this story is so interesting and tackles the question of choice and death in a really unique way. I read it on a whim and ended up quite liking it! Available here.

Vivian does love Dash and Lily, their daughter, but she continues to refuse to marry him, unable to deal with what his family goes through upon death. If she officially marries into the family, she will become a Karner in all ways. When it appears that Viv may be dying, she will need to make a decision sooner than she had hoped. Stay, but remaining a terminal. Marry and, once she dies, becomes something else. Leave, with or without Dash and Lily.

There's a beauty to having one's death transform into something useful or beautiful or both. Frankly, I don't understand Vivian's concerns about that. 4 out of 5.

Loved this idea and the whole story right up until the end. Was hoping for something a little stronger.

to be about death and what might be some form of reincarnation this was oddly poetic. blue butterflies are my favorite and lily's bravery and maturity was a breathe of fresh air.
