Listened to this on a long car ride and pretty sure I cried out in grief after reading this. This was beautifully written and has made me realize that I don't read enough novels in verse because there's just an extra emotional quality to novels written in verse that packs a harder punch. Me (Moth) was a book on coping with loss, grief, and learning to move on. I loved reading the main characters' journey through this and the ending was as painful as a throat punch. Very effective, 10/10, no notes, Amber McBride, this was such an important read.
