Song of the Fireflies is a story so real and so raw it’s no wonder I couldn’t put it down. Haunting and beautiful from start to finish, and all the while you’re constantly asking the question, “how much more can happen to these two?”Meet Bray: With her over the top personality, an inability to love born out of fear, she’s flawed. “I’ll say it again: I was fu***d up. It was as simple as that.”  The reality, she’s bi-polar, yet Bray calls it “just one of those things.”  It’s easy to ignore when those that are supposed to love you unconditionally turn the other cheek, make excuses for your erratic behavior and chalk it up to rebellious behavior, as if they’re ashamed of you.  Those emotions, or lack thereof, can distort how one feels about themselves. It has definitely affected Bray.Meet Elias: He loves Bray unconditionally and has since they were young. “Perfect. Beautiful. She could never shatter my image of her no matter what she did.”  Their connection is undeniable. His love for her is fierce, and there is nothing he wouldn’t do for her. “My whole body was consumed by emotion, a desperate need to make her understand how much I loved her without having to say the words.”Song of the Fireflies is so well written, with characters so well developed, that you can feel the emotions radiating from the pages. A love story you don’t want to miss.~ 4 ~ Firefly catching ~ Stars
