Written in free verse this book would be great in ELA reading groups. Moth lost her family in an accident but finds a friend in Sani. Loved this, can read in one sitting. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋. Good twist at the end that I did not see coming.

Creative, story in verse. It is not my favorite and I sped through a bit, but there was a twist and I am so glad I finished. The layers of the story mixed with the poetry makes this a gorgeous, original, and we'll crafted story worth all the praise

bnp An awesome cover too! 2y

This stunning YA novel is a debut for Amber McBride.

A teenaged girl, Moth, is mourning the loss of her family when she meets a teenaged boy, Sani, searching for his place in the world. Their sweet love story and shared interest in African and Native American religious traditions is beautifully written in verse.

The ending is unforgettable. I loved this on audio but I‘m thinking about getting the book and reading it with my eyes too.

Beautiful YA book in verse. This book pulled me in from the first page. Two teens, both suffering from their own trauma and demons, one Black, one Native, find each other and try to heal their broken pieces.

The ending left me stunned and I definitely didn't see it coming.

If you enjoy books in verse I highly recommend this one.

Novel in verse about 2 teens that have experienced trauma in their very young years. There is a twist ending that is making me want to go back and read again to see if there were any hints that I missed!
