Written so beautifully and a in MUCH different style than anything I typically read. I’d never have considered narrative poetry as something I’d be interested in but this story has proven me wrong and for that I am grateful.

“Me: Moth” is a quick and easy read that I really enjoyed and I found stimulating in ways I haven’t experienced. Also, a twist ending I didn’t see coming?! This never happens and I loved that something that felt like beautiful writing for the sake of beautiful writing could still stun me with its plot.

If you’re looking for something completely different, this could not be a better place to start.

I've never read a novel written in verse before, so I struggled to get into it at the start, but I'm glad I kept going. The story was beautiful and heartbreaking, and definitely left an impression.

I listened to the audio of this book and it was beautiful. However, I feel as though I missed a couple of the details because my mind wandered, so I shall read the novel next. At that point, I shall update my review of the book.
