Vile Butterflies by Mila Kate

Can friendship be constantly put to the test?
September and Hayes, two young people from very different worlds, meet at a police station and form an unexpected friendship. September is trapped in a world of fantasies and unreality, while Hayes—chained to a violent family—escapes through drugs and alcohol. Shy and withdrawn, she finds in him an understanding friend. But as they spend more time together, their bond begins to deepen into something more. However, personal and family struggles keep them tied to the past, preventing them from moving toward a better future.


Will these souls find common ground to complement each other’s lives? Will they be able to build a stronger alternative to break the chain of misfortune?


In this moving story of survival, both fight to move beyond the typical bad-boy/good-girl cliché, discovering that every human being is made of duality. All it takes is love—and the willingness to truly see.
