Butter
by Erin Jade Lange
Publication Expected: September 18th 2012
Bloomsbury


A lonely obese boy everyone calls "Butter" is about to make history. He is going to eat himself to death—live on the Internet—and everyone is invited to watch. When he first makes the announcement online to his classmates, Butter expects pity, insults, and possibly sheer indifference. What he gets are morbid cheerleaders rallying around his deadly plan. Yet as their dark encouragement grows, it begins to feel a lot like popularity. And that feels good. But what happens when Butter reaches his suicide deadline? Can he live with the fallout if he doesn’t go through with his plans? With a deft hand, E.J. Lange allows readers to identify with both the bullies and the bullied in this all-consuming look at one teen’s battle with himself.


Look at me with my obsession with really dark books. Once again, I'm just really excited to read this because I. Love. Dark. books. And bullying is always a topic I like to read. I don't know, I'm just weird, okay?
