The angst was too much, the profundity in excess. It was far too profound to the extent that the weight of what could’ve been some carefully crafted stanzas became meaningless and empty. It shoved its sadness in your face from the very first second, then rammed its poignancy down your throat till you choked on it. This book was sad and it wanted you to know it. I received an advanced reader’s copy of this book through a YallWest giveaway and accessed it through NetGalley but that in no way impacts my review. It’s an important story that I hope others read and appreciate as much as I did. This story is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. It almost makes me want to read the whole story again with the fresh perspective that the twist gave me. It will be unexpected for anyone who reads this book, but the twist feels so perfect for the story. The award for the biggest plot twist I’ve ever read is for sure going to this book. They’re unique connection formed one of the most beautiful love stories I’ve ever read and they each went on their own journeys of self-discovery that were so interesting to read about.
Moth and Sani will be characters that I’ll never forget. I’m glad that I stuck with it though as I eventually was able to get into the swing of the writing style and I was lost in the captivating universe that Amber McBride created. Normally when I read books in verse, dialogue is very minimal, so I was very confused and thrown for a loop when I found out how much dialogue was in this book. As she struggles with grief and feeling guilty for her family's death, she sparks a connection with a boy at her school. Me (Moth) follows a young girl named Moth who tragically lost her family in a car crash.
I only got into books written in verse last year and each one has been super impactful in my life.
