Butter- Final update
The book butter is a heart warming book about a boy who is over weight and an outsider in his school. With few friends butter is desperate to be the center of attention, or just to be noticed once in his high school. He doesn't do this by reaching out and talking to people or joining more after school activities, but he makes a suicide post on a school blog for everyone to see. Not only that but the post is a threat that he is going to eat himself to death. He asks people to suggest food ideas for his "death menu", which they do in a cruel and mocking way. Butter has also made a fake relationship online with a girl from his school who he really likes, but with all of the lies he told her online compared to who is he is real life, it is almost impossible for him to ever come clean to her and fix all of the damage he has already done. Although the book does have some funny moments, it is for the most part very serious and deep. In the end the reader is left with a partial cliff hanger when Butter has come clean to the girl he likes, re-connected with his true friend, is alive in the hospital, but has barely begun to regain his health and start to lose weight.
