Stephanie Soo I just wanna say Please stop saying that you’re unintelligent ☹️you’ve no idea how much I love and respect you You’re very smart You’re such a good story teller you’re underrated in my opinion I love you so much 🥺❤️
(spoilers! ig) i actually like the fact that the gardener was sometimes nicer to the butterflies than his son, it makes the whole thing so much creepier. like even you as the reader are manipulated into forgiving him just a little bit and forgetting how horrible the whole situation is, its kind of a parallel to the girl who developed stockholm syndrome
I got more of a feeling of them being pets when he was nice to them. Because we treat our pets kindly, we cry when they die, put them down if they're in pain, and some people stuff them to keep them around. Although I've never assaulted one of my pets, that part doesn't fit into the analogy 😬😬
@@AH-tu3km yea but people don't assault or r*p* or murdered their pets. Also it's so much creepier bcs he clearly has emphaty, yet he still do the things he'd done.
I thought the “preserved butterflies” would be the tattoos skinned off and framed and I almost feel like that would have been more unsettling and creepy. Loved this Baking a Mystery!
Her baking a mystery's are everything... I swear I watch it here and not long after I listen to it on the podcast.. My life is just better with Stephanie 😂🤧
I feel like the serial killer was written to be nice sometimes because the author was giving the character dimension. Even if someone is twisted and evil they’re still capable of good things. Honestly the way he’s written makes him terrifying to me. How someone can “love” beautiful things and then destroy them. The remorse he feels turns him into the average person, because psychopaths don’t usually feel empathy or sympathy. It’s believable, and it’s horrifying
i think what steph was saying is that within the book it goes into detail about all the “nice” things he does, but brushes over the bad things like the assaults. if u wanna create a dimensional nuanced character and go into detail about the “good” things they do, then also go into detail about the bad things they do instead of just brushing over them to the point were people almost forget about them and think “oh hey maybe he’s not that bad”.
Good point but is this not contradicting? He shows real sadness over the things he finds beautiful, But he’s also a psychopath that doesn’t feel empathy or sympathy? I think that in itself is a lesson. Not all people capable of evil things are psychopaths, they can feel as much as the average person, which is scarier imo.
the last part your describing is a sociopath not a psychopath. this killer is a psychopath that’s y he still feels remorse a sociopath would not feel it
@@55monk28 no they just described it wrong, the fact that he can feel things makes him psychopath. A sociopath kills with a lack of conscious for things they’re doing. generally sociopaths are scarier bc you wouldn’t even be able to convince them that you shouldn’t be killed
I understand where you’re coming from with Mya feeling exponentially older and so cold for a 16 year old. But that’s sometimes how people react to traumatic situations like this. She had detachments to her primary caregivers since she was a baby, pretty much. That ripped away development that she needed. You can also be desensitized to your own trauma and treat it as just something that happened rather than an event that shaped your life and development into teenage years and adulthood. That’s how I treated my trauma and when I was 16 I was very unemotional and just floated through life pretty much, with an attitude that seemed like I didn’t have time for other people. Trauma is very complex.
thats what Stephanie said, that it could be her trauma but at the same time it was something else about it, she said reading the book gets u to understand what she actually means
@@lialotus9644 Same... Im 25 now and ive only now started understanding how much trauma ive been though and that ive been abused most of the time but it was always "whatever" for me too
Yes it was just her trying to survive she had to grow up young but yeah it's called disassociating and just detachment sometimes it's just a way to survive.
this book reminds me of the cellar. the cellar first came out on wattpad years ago and then actually turned into a book. It was about a guy who kidnapped girls and called them his wives and they were a family. The cellar had a kitchen and bedrooms and was soundproof and the door was like made of steel. The girls were named after flowers and he would buy that corresponding flower for them and when they wilted he did something specific to that girl but I forget what. It had the same premise of this book that if the girls didn't "acclimate" he would kill them. I wonder if these books are so similar out of coincidence or if they were inspired by one or the other.
Wait omg thank you, i read that on wattpad when i was like 16 and thought about it semi recently and was like ya im never going to figure out a random wattpad story about kidnapped girls, that narrows the search down in no way lol
I feel like in a way, having the gardener be "handsome, poise" and emotional enough to cry for one of the victims, show how people in the real world who we think is "normal" may not be in the privacy of their own home. We really can't judge someone to be a good person by how they act in public. But as the reader, its glorifying disgusting criminals. Either way, I feel yucky.
it's not glorification, it's depth. Most people who are bad aren't JUST bad. They probably have some good and desirable traits as well. Recently, people take not completely flattening a villain or a bad action into ONLY bad and see it as "glorifying" It's not glorifying, it's reality.
@@aarishowton8037 exactly, and serial killers and such are always described by others outside and known to be *very* charismatic, charming, kind/nice but quiet or standoffish or cold in the eyes.
I also feel like having added more detail in the assault that happened in the book would’ve also better explained why the girls where the way they are even after having been saved from the garden. Like all they did was to ensure their survival and they could only trust each other which is why they all wanted to see Maya before talking to their parents.
I feel like you have to remember the story is told from Maya’s perspective. It made sense to me why the assault wasn’t as detailed during the first investigation because even though she was a strong woman, she still experienced terrible things she physically didn’t want to talk about yet.
ive read a novel written in my language where the writer wrote a whole affidavit of the character who got assaulted. it was very disturbing but really helped a lot for me to not symphatize with the person involved
People who have experienced trauma's brain usually blocks out the trauma to not induce any stress (panic/anxiety attacks, etc) so when people do recount it, it's sometimes very like "So A..., then B, C, D and H happened..., then J, K, M, P and Q..., then X, Y and Z and that's it" so their brains usually intentionally "forget" some parts of the event for a reason. Also it's hard to remember ANY traumatic event well so that's why the minor, smaller details are like not there. Though ofc, maybe if it was described by a narrator who is outside of the story and that knows everything so we can get more detail might have been nicer
About the gardener and how no one looks into his life and how wealthy he is is actually kind of accurate. Most of the wealthiest people on Earth are ones we never heard of, they exist in another space of our dimension. Like when you see a really big wall and you peek into it and see a very lavish mansion, you don't really obsess into knowing who lives there. It's like, kinda there. Therefore, you'll never know their secrets until you accidentally stumbled on them but if in case you do, you'll probably just think like Sophia who never told the cops because of shits.
The way she tells the story is like the way you explain a dream. Nobody ever understands me because it's a dream and everything is all mixed up but I really understand the format of her storytelling.
i like the butterfly keeper man. He just has some emotional problems from the death of his father. the girls should just be happy so that he gets what he wants. shame on the butterflies
This one was so good... maybe it’s the way steph relays the story but she makes it sound a lot better and I really want to know what happens afterwards in the trials..... loving BAM!!!
I've been so deep depressed for years that I lost interest in reading and watching movies. But Stephanie's narration has made me gain interest in watching movies and reading/listening books again, and keep me engaged to them. Thank you!!
oh geez that would be terrifying. like imagine the film team trying to portray the dead girls - it’s just.....no. and since the author glamorised the whole book and the garden, it wouldn’t be good at all. people would end up ACTUALLY wanting to go to this “butterfly garden.”
If you enjoy dark / twisted mysteries, I STRONGLY suggest Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter! I've been into true crime for around 10 years now and there was really no romanticising of any sort, just a great book all around, very poignant too. Thank you so much for this series!
Definitely the one with the girl who never spoke again. You had an idea who it was but the way that it played out and how it was explained gave me this “woah” feeling.
I kinda like the way the author described everything. It made the man and the garden seem so inviting, that it was scary. Like you can feel why some people might just give up on escape and just live there. It gives the whole books a horrifying feeling of wanting to be compliant. Makes u want to fight back less
the garden reminds me of exaggerated Chinese novels that take place in the palace where there are hundreds of concubines and such, except this is more sick and weird.
@Macy most Chinese ancient based novels has concubines so it's a big deal when the protagonist wants to marry only 1 person their whole life which makes it true love and romantic😅 In conclusion just search for any Chinese novel theyre really good
I LOVE BAKING A MYSTERY YOU'RE SUCH A GOOD STORYTELLER AND HAVE GOTTEN ME BACK INTO READING (sorry for the caps, don't mean to sound aggressive but I am just so excited to watch!)
This entire story was a rollercoaster i was not ready for! I actually feel like this would be interesting made into a movie but for now i'm probably going to read the book for myself.
From what I can tell the book is poorly written but the way Stephanie retells the story is just amazing it felt like I was watching a whole movie! Thank you Stephanie, this was amazing!
No, it isn’t. At least not for me. It was definitely an easy but entertaining read, it obviously contains explicit scenes that were hard to digest but other than that, I would recommend the book to people who are interested in reading it.
i like the butterfly keeper man. He just has some emotional problems from the death of his father. the girls should just be happy so that he gets what he wants. shame on the butterflies
I used to really love true crime but then recently started getting a bit freaked by it and serial killers and stuff started ending up in nightmares regularly (I don't know why :/) so I had to stop - these videos are a lifesaver! It's so nice because it's like true crime but I can reassure myself that it's not real. Your voice is so soothing and you tell the stories so well that I can continue to listen. Thank you so much for retelling these stories!! It makes it a lot easier for me
i like the butterfly keeper man. He just has some emotional problems from the death of his father. the girls should just be happy so that he gets what he wants. shame on the butterflies
I feel like it's a little different though. Ultimately, Edward Cullen...oop...I mean "Mr. Grey" of course was not supposed to be a villian. Yeah there were issues he had and he was a flawed character as the series went on, but we were supposed root for him and Bella-Anastasia 🙄 to have their happy ending finally. When it comes to The Gardener, a better comparison would be Joe Goldberg from YOU. We know he's a bad guy, and not just any bad guy but a sexual deviant and a murderer the entire time, and yet what's happening is compelling enough that we find ourselves enthralled eventhough we're disgusted by him. "Mr. Grey" was just an already flawed and slightly creepy character from the Twilight series, that was repackaged as a BDSM dom by a lazy author who, unlike Stephanie Meyer, wasn't an uptight Mormon girl so she was willing to write about BDSM even as she wasn't willing to do any research about it!
I would love it if stephanie wrote a thriller book. she ends up finding each disappointing and i think if she wrote a book there would be almost no plot holes and it wouldn't be problematic
I started watching this when I was doing my night care, and I had to stop because the way she was describing this book I had to read it for myself before I continued watching it. So here I am 2 years later read this AMAZING book so I can continue watching this. 10/10 this book was amazing!!!
I love reading books but lately I’ve been in reading slump so I’ve binge watched all her BAM, it’s kinda rekindling my love of reading again. Love this series
31mins in and when Stephanie said she feels the characters don’t act their age, I just get flashbacks to when i was reading The Fault in Our Stars. I think that’s what she meant right? Like they’re 16/17 but acts like they’ve seen a lot in life
I literally read this book last week. It’s so dark because of how well it’s written. It’s told from a “butterflies” perspective, so of course she doesn’t want to get into the explicit details of the assaults.
LITERALLY NEVER BEEN THIS EARLY BEFORE I start my days with you and now I feel like you’re a part of my routine. Love u biss n stephiance! 🥺🧚🏼♂️ SHE LIKED IT LET ME GO CRY 😭
I truly aspire to be as great of a story teller like Stephanie one day! Wow! 🥰 she needs to give herself more credit for how intelligent she is to be able to recounts and walk everyone through her experience and bring that book to life. It is just astounding. BAM introduces me to some books I really wanna indulge in because of Stephanie! 🥰
Stephanie! You should consider trying Hunt a Killer. It's really similar to the unsolved mysteries you were doing a few months/ weeks ago but with a much better storyline and mystery. Also, part of the proceeds are donated to the Cold Case Foundation. Idk just thought that would be a fun video because I miss your unsolved mystery ones.
Hey Stephanie I just wanna let you know that thank you so much for doing this new serie! I have to listen to something while I'm by myself or working otherwise I get super sad and scared. I've watched and rewatched ALL your main channel crime stories MANY times and this new serie saved me. It made me happy whenever I see you had uploaded a new video! So, thank you for that super bright energy during this unfortunate time. BTW I am a Chinese international student, I watch your video whenever I miss China, and the tears just dry right up! Thank you for that!
back two years later to say when i first watch this video i fell asleep towards the end but loved the video so much that i, 16 with like zero money in my pockets, not even bank acc 💀, rushed to amazon the next day to buy the book because you described it so damn well and it was so enticing. two years later. and it’s my favorite book. thank you so much, stephanie ❤️
Stephanie Stephanie ❗❗ you should read "The Cellar" by Natasha Preston!!! It was my favourite years ago and definitely an interesting crime book!! It provides insights in terms of childhood on the murderer and is similar to the book you read except instead of butterflies, the girls are flowers... O.o ❤️
@Yes, i'm judging you omg 😭😭😭 I'm so happy someone else knows about the book!!! Hopefully she reads it! Cuz the gardener gives me hella vibes of that murderer in the cellar!!
I AM OBSESSED WITHE THEIS SERIES! I can’t get enough of this. This is original content, guys. Like, I tried seeing if anybody does something similar- No! The concept is SO BASIC, Yet nobody has ever done it.
I started listening to this series yesterday and i’m obsessed because the way she tells the story i can picture the entire story and i like listening to this in the background of doing my homework 😂
The book is part of a series that has 4 books
Book 1- The butterfly garden
Book 2- the roses of may
Book 3 - the summer children
Book 4 - the vanishing season
Book 2 tells what happens to the girls of book 1 but also has a new story.
Up
I hope Steph continues the book series 💓

@Macy most Chinese ancient based novels has concubines so it's a big deal when the protagonist wants to marry only 1 person their whole life which makes it true love and romantic😅
In conclusion just search for any Chinese novel theyre really good
I LOVE BAKING A MYSTERY YOU'RE SUCH A GOOD STORYTELLER AND HAVE GOTTEN ME BACK INTO READING (sorry for the caps, don't mean to sound aggressive but I am just so excited to watch!)
i’m really sad rn bc my friends stood me up and i just saw this show up and it literally made me so happy😭😭🥺
Actually I just got here but I’m SO EXITED FOR THIS BOOK!
This entire story was a rollercoaster i was not ready for! I actually feel like this would be interesting made into a movie but for now i'm probably going to read the book for myself.
From what I can tell the book is poorly written but the way Stephanie retells the story is just amazing it felt like I was watching a whole movie! Thank you Stephanie, this was amazing!
There is a movie?
No, it isn’t. At least not for me. It was definitely an easy but entertaining read, it obviously contains explicit scenes that were hard to digest but other than that, I would recommend the book to people who are interested in reading it.
i like the butterfly keeper man. He just has some emotional problems from the death of his father. the girls should just be happy so that he gets what he wants. shame on the butterflies

I love STEPHANIE ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
You queen
You dropped this 👑
OMG STEPHANIE
IM SO HAPPY
I used to really love true crime but then recently started getting a bit freaked by it and serial killers and stuff started ending up in nightmares regularly (I don't know why :/) so I had to stop - these videos are a lifesaver! It's so nice because it's like true crime but I can reassure myself that it's not real. Your voice is so soothing and you tell the stories so well that I can continue to listen. Thank you so much for retelling these stories!! It makes it a lot easier for me

I love how she explains so so well and is also so sarcastic as hell at the same time 😂
Her reaction to this book with her true crime background is essentially how anyone who's genuinely into bdsm felt when fifty shades of gray came out
Oh yes, this!
I feel like it's a little different though.
Ultimately, Edward Cullen...oop...I mean "Mr. Grey" of course was not supposed to be a villian. Yeah there were issues he had and he was a flawed character as the series went on, but we were supposed root for him and Bella-Anastasia 🙄 to have their happy ending finally.
When it comes to The Gardener, a better comparison would be Joe Goldberg from YOU. We know he's a bad guy, and not just any bad guy but a sexual deviant and a murderer the entire time, and yet what's happening is compelling enough that we find ourselves enthralled eventhough we're disgusted by him.
"Mr. Grey" was just an already flawed and slightly creepy character from the Twilight series, that was repackaged as a BDSM dom by a lazy author who, unlike Stephanie Meyer, wasn't an uptight Mormon girl so she was willing to write about BDSM even as she wasn't willing to do any research about it!
Almost two hours of my fav biss? Yes. Baking? Yes! Books? YES.
These are like when you’re talking to a friend and they’re explaining a book they read and it makes me feel less lonely
I just love the way Stephanie explains books/cases she makes it so much more interesting to listen to ♥️
I would love it if stephanie wrote a thriller book. she ends up finding each disappointing and i think if she wrote a book there would be almost no plot holes and it wouldn't be problematic
I really think you will like the book “Stolen” It’s a really good read and it’s about Stockholm syndrome
when she talks about mysteries and they be actually interesting and you’re never losing interest she such a vibe🙂✨
If I’m not watching Stephanie then what’s the point of TH-cam 😀❤️
I started watching this when I was doing my night care, and I had to stop because the way she was describing this book I had to read it for myself before I continued watching it. So here I am 2 years later read this AMAZING book so I can continue watching this. 10/10 this book was amazing!!!
Damn the way u didnt even forget
I just want to thank you for making this series
i honestly like baking a mystery more then her normal mukbangs lmao
Y e s
I don’t like listening to people retelling stories but this is AWESOME-
Her personality makes my heart smile
I love reading books but lately I’ve been in reading slump so I’ve binge watched all her BAM, it’s kinda rekindling my love of reading again. Love this series
ive been sucked in this entire time its such a creative story
coupled with Steph's amazing and captivating storytelling skills, it's no wonder!
31mins in and when Stephanie said she feels the characters don’t act their age, I just get flashbacks to when i was reading The Fault in Our Stars. I think that’s what she meant right? Like they’re 16/17 but acts like they’ve seen a lot in life
But dont all kids act like they know everything.
@@senajabeen1076 that is true 😔 especially when they start talking like war veterans
I literally read this book last week. It’s so dark because of how well it’s written. It’s told from a “butterflies” perspective, so of course she doesn’t want to get into the explicit details of the assaults.
LITERALLY NEVER BEEN THIS EARLY BEFORE I start my days with you and now I feel like you’re a part of my routine. Love u biss n stephiance! 🥺🧚🏼♂️
SHE LIKED IT LET ME GO CRY 😭
Stephanie’s storytelling and love for thrillers got me into reading again and I can’t thank her enough 😭
I truly aspire to be as great of a story teller like Stephanie one day! Wow! 🥰 she needs to give herself more credit for how intelligent she is to be able to recounts and walk everyone through her experience and bring that book to life. It is just astounding. BAM introduces me to some books I really wanna indulge in because of Stephanie! 🥰
Man, I love this series. I'm literally binge watching all of them, her storytelling is just soo good
MISTERMANGOBUTT and MISSMANGOBUTT POSTS ON THE SAME DAY!!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!?!???????
Kinda sus vote em out
I just found you two days ago and I’ve binged nonstop and now I’m obsessed 😭😭😭
riiiiightt
Stephanie! You should consider trying Hunt a Killer. It's really similar to the unsolved mysteries you were doing a few months/ weeks ago but with a much better storyline and mystery. Also, part of the proceeds are donated to the Cold Case Foundation. Idk just thought that would be a fun video because I miss your unsolved mystery ones.
I read this book a few years ago and it was soooooo good but you tell it way better!
This is becoming my routine. I just finished my Sunday class at grad school and I am listening because this is just like reading a book. Thank youuu
this story reminds me so much of the handmaid’s tale, especially when june gets moved into joseph’s house
Hey Stephanie I just wanna let you know that thank you so much for doing this new serie! I have to listen to something while I'm by myself or working otherwise I get super sad and scared. I've watched and rewatched ALL your main channel crime stories MANY times and this new serie saved me. It made me happy whenever I see you had uploaded a new video! So, thank you for that super bright energy during this unfortunate time. BTW I am a Chinese international student, I watch your video whenever I miss China, and the tears just dry right up! Thank you for that!
omg ur kitchen is decorated so cute :(

Baking a mystery is one of my favourite series on youtube, literally the best thing ever
back two years later to say when i first watch this video i fell asleep towards the end but loved the video so much that i, 16 with like zero money in my pockets, not even bank acc 💀, rushed to amazon the next day to buy the book because you described it so damn well and it was so enticing. two years later. and it’s my favorite book. thank you so much, stephanie ❤️
I literally wrote the same comment LMAO this book was amazing !

I have lost how many times I go back to this video and I keep liking it the same. Is like reading your favorite book again.
I WAS WAITING FOR ANOTHER EPISODE😍🥳 Thank you Stephanie❤️
Stephanieee recommendation for the next BAM: 'Thirteen' - Steve Cavanagh. The tagline is 'The murderer isn't on trial, he's on the jury'
oh my god you have to read The Cellar by Natasha Preston. It sounds so similar to this. Its such a good book and so unsettling
ah yes another one to listen to while cleaning, I LOVE U STEPHANIE 💖
For a second when I saw the tile I was like wtf this sounds exactly like a book Ive read then Ive realized shes talking about the book.
Stephanie Stephanie ❗❗ you should read "The Cellar" by Natasha Preston!!! It was my favourite years ago and definitely an interesting crime book!! It provides insights in terms of childhood on the murderer and is similar to the book you read except instead of butterflies, the girls are flowers... O.o ❤️
@Yes, i'm judging you omg 😭😭😭 I'm so happy someone else knows about the book!!! Hopefully she reads it! Cuz the gardener gives me hella vibes of that murderer in the cellar!!
It’s a really good book! I first read it on wattpadd
OMGGGG!!!! this is the book that really got me into reading!!!! I love it so much! I’m so happy others do too
o-m-g. an hour and 40 minutes? when I saw I gasped, i mean it! love you gurl!
