this was soo pookie pie. so cute. so touching.
i liked seeing the progression of how noah deals with his grief, and lewis almost being personified into mothman.
super sweet as well to see noah’s commentary on being trans. idk something about seeing tweens accept themselves the way they are was refreshing to read. 
i liked as well that by the end of the story, noah doesn’t just move on from his friendship with lewis, but it grows & evolves.
also ofc i have to shout of the fact that there was t4t in this book. automatically bonus points in my mind.
i did find this book to be juvenile and its commentary was surface-level, but i mean i can’t be too mad at that considering it’s audience is middle graders. i just can’t rate it highly because i am learning that is not my style. but like i said anything gay automatically is a banger book.
shout out mothman for being the queer icon we didn’t know we needed.
