MOTH by Amber McBride

I absolutely loved this book. I was hooked by page four, caught up in the web of intricate, beautiful verse through which McBridge weaves the story of Moth and Sani. Incorporating elements of Hoodoo and Navajo culture, McBridge takes readers on a literal road trip across the country as Moth learns about love and searches for a place of belonging. The ending is a shock, and one that readers will undoubtedly either love or hate, but the story and language was ultimately so captivating that it will stay with me for a long time. Bonus: an easy, few-hour read.
