Reviews
"With unmatched lyrical writing and a powerful plot, McBride is an absolute must-read author."-- Buzzfeed "Recommended. McBride writes Moth's narration in spare, wistful free verse that reads like Francesca Lia Block in poetry or a fragile, emotional E. E. Cummings; Moth's pain at being "the guilty girl who lived" is keen and haunting, and the frequent evocation of her grandfather, a spiritual rootworker, adds a supernatural flavor. ... Readers may not see the poignant final twist coming, but it's a satisfying climactic development that will leave them dabbing their eyes and turning to their own art in hope and gratitude. A note further explains the history of hoodoo and rootwork." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (BCCB), FINALIST FOR THE 2021 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR YOUNG PEOPLE'S LITERATURE A BookPage Best Book of 2021 A Best Book of 2021, Shelf Awareness An NPR Best Book of the Year, 2021 A School Library Journal Best Book of 2021 "This searing debut novel-in-verse is told from the perspective of Moth, a Black teen whose life changed forever the day a car crash killed her family. ... Each free verse poem is tightly composed, leading into the next for a poignant and richly layered narrative. The story builds softly and subtly to a perfect, bittersweet ending. Fans of Jacqueline Woodson won't be able to put this one down."-- School Library Journal, starred review "McBride artfully weaves Black Southern Hoodoo traditions with those of the Navajo/Diné people, creating a beautiful and cross-cultural reverence for the earth, its inhabitants, and our ancestors. ... Written in verse, this novel is hauntingly romantic, refusing to be rushed or put down without deep contemplation of what it means to accept the tragedies of our lives and to reckon with the ways we metamorphosize as a result of them ." -- Booklist, starred review "If you think you know where this story is going, think again. Me (Moth) will surprise you." -- BookPage, starred review "Written in gorgeous verse, Moth's painful story of heartbreak, connection, and learning to love again unfolds, thanks to a soul connection with cool guy Sani."-- Girls Life Magazine "With unmatched lyrical writing and a powerful plot, McBride is an absolute must-read author."-- Buzzfeed "Two years after a devastating car accident killed her family as they drove from New York to northern Virginia, aspiring dancer Moth, the Black granddaughter of a Hoodoo root worker, is still navigating the accident's fallout... When a new student--talented Navajo musician Sani--shows up in her junior homeroom class, Moth finds a kindred spirit whose similarly painful past and physically abusive stepfather compound his depression." -- Publishers Weekly "Recommended.

Gabbin, Director, Furious Flower Poetry Center, Finalist, 2021 National Book Award "This searing debut novel-in-verse is told from the perspective of Moth, a Black teen whose life changed forever the day a car crash killed her family. ... Each free verse poem is tightly composed, leading into the next for a poignant and richly layered narrative. The story builds softly and subtly to a perfect, bittersweet ending. Fans of Jacqueline Woodson won't be able to put this one down."-- School Library Journal, starred review "McBride artfully weaves Black Southern Hoodoo traditions with those of the Navajo/Diné people, creating a beautiful and cross-cultural reverence for the earth, its inhabitants, and our ancestors. ... Written in verse, this novel is hauntingly romantic, refusing to be rushed or put down without deep contemplation of what it means to accept the tragedies of our lives and to reckon with the ways we metamorphosize as a result of them ." -- Booklist, starred review "If you think you know where this story is going, think again. Me (Moth) will surprise you." -- BookPage, starred review "Written in gorgeous verse, Moth's painful story of heartbreak, connection, and learning to love again unfolds, thanks to a soul connection with cool guy Sani."-- Girls Life Magazine "With unmatched lyrical writing and a powerful plot, McBride is an absolute must-read author."-- Buzzfeed "Two years after a devastating car accident killed her family as they drove from New York to northern Virginia, aspiring dancer Moth, the Black granddaughter of a Hoodoo root worker, is still navigating the accident's fallout... When a new student--talented Navajo musician Sani--shows up in her junior homeroom class, Moth finds a kindred spirit whose similarly painful past and physically abusive stepfather compound his depression." -- Publishers Weekly "Recommended. McBride writes Moth's narration in spare, wistful free verse that reads like Francesca Lia Block in poetry or a fragile, emotional E. E. Cummings; Moth's pain at being "the guilty girl who lived" is keen and haunting, and the frequent evocation of her grandfather, a spiritual rootworker, adds a supernatural flavor. ... Readers may not see the poignant final twist coming, but it's a satisfying climactic development that will leave them dabbing their eyes and turning to their own art in hope and gratitude.

The book arrived in a timely manner and was signed by author. Despite being new, it appeared closer to like new condition. Contributing to this might have been the fact that it was not better packaged--no bubble wrap or additional cushion to protect the book.
