The Knife and the Butterfly by Ashley Hope Perez

Azael Arevalo wakes up in a place he'd rather not be in. Jail. Except this is different from all the other times he was in juvie. No phonecall, no lawyer, and everybody acts all funny. He wishes he could remember what happened the night his gang got in a brawl, but he just can't. Azael is sent to an observation room where he's supposed to watch Lexi Allen. But he doesn't even know who the chick is, or what she's got to do with him. If only Azael could just remember.
This book was really, seriously good. The author portrays everything very well. There was also a bit of symbolism and the message of it all really hit home. At the end of the book, there was a surprising twist which totally shocked me. I honestly can't stop thinking about it and I highly recommend reading the book. There's a little bit of violence and it's a little mature, but still.
I'd rate the book 9.5/10
