You’re a Butterfly

Romance

A perfect world. Where everything is complicated, even love.

Celeste is living what everyone sees as the perfect life. Designer clothes, a huge house, an international school, a private driver, a tennis club, and… a famous father. Yes, because it seems that Celeste will always and only be one thing: the daughter of Vittorio Lucci, the renowned actor who made it in Hollywood. It’s all very glamorous. And fascinating, as many would say. But lately, Celeste has been struggling—she wishes she could just hit pause. She pretends to be happy, but it feels like everything around her is falling apart: Veronica, her lifelong best friend, has stopped eating; her father is constantly absent; and Romeo, the boy she’s trying to build something with, lives in a world far too different from her own. Sometimes, though, all it takes is a step back to understand what really matters. You just have to look up and notice. Sometimes, the flutter of a butterfly’s wings is enough to show you where you’re going—enough to reveal your path.

  • The rose-tinted world of the rich, bluntly told from behind the scenes.
  • A touching tale of self-discovery, addressing universal themes like friendship, betrayal, love, family, dreams, desires, and identity without sensationalism.

Camilla Mancini

Born in Genoa in 1997, she immediately started travelling around Italy and then Europe due her father’s job: he is the famous football player and coach Roberto Mancini. She is passionate about photography, writing and sport. For her, heaven is the simple things, like going for ice cream, her loved ones’ smiles, the smell of coffee, a bunch of red roses, singing her heart out in the car and a rainy Saturday night in the company of a good film and some chips.
