Me (Moth) by Amber McBride
5.0

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of (Me) Moth!

This is a very weird and beautiful book! It's about a girl named Moth who lost her family in a car accident who goes on a road trip with a new boy in her class to try to find some peace and some more connection to her family and the world around her. The "finding yourself on a road trip" plot has certainly been done before, but never in this way. The story is told in verse, and the writing is incredibly lyrical and moving. Moth's voice comes through beautifully through the verse, and I felt like I got to know her extremely intimately over the course of the book. Moth's desire to find connection is very relatable, and I enjoyed seeing her relationship with Sani develop over the course of the book. The most incredible part of the book is the ending, which I won't say anything about except that it is unexpected and poignant.

Overall, this is truly a special book! Highly recommend!!
