Robin Gow writes the books that I would have needed when I was younger, and reading them now fills me with both grief for who I could have been and awe for who I am. 

As a transmasculine autistic, I feel a kinship with Noah, like he's speaking to the child inside of me instead of Mothman. And that inner child feels less alone now.

I really enjoyed this read. Naturally, in my usual way, I didn't read the description before diving into what I thought would be a fluffy book, so I was blindsided by the intense portrayal of childhood grief. I loved the exploration of identity and friendship, as well as exploring social life on the autism spectrum. I didn't realize it was a novel in verse because I listened to the audiobook.
