    About this audiobook

    "This magical audiobook echoes the desire to truly understand yourself and be seen as you are, and the twist ending will leave listeners stunned." -AudioFile Magazine

    This program is read by the author.

    A debut YA novel-in-verse by Amber McBride, Me (Moth) is about a teen girl who is grieving the deaths of her family, and a teen boy who crosses her path.

    Moth has lost her family in an accident. Though she lives with her aunt, she feels alone and uprooted.

    Until she meets Sani, a boy who is also searching for his roots. If he knows more about where he comes from, maybe he’ll be able to understand his ongoing depression. And if Moth can help him feel grounded, then perhaps she too will discover the history she carries in her bones.

    Moth and Sani take a road trip that has them chasing ghosts and searching for ancestors. The way each moves forward is surprising, powerful, and unforgettable.

    Here is an exquisite and uplifting novel about identity, first love, and the ways that our memories and our roots steer us through the universe.

    • 5/5
      Gorgeous prose and the journey that ensued. If you listen to the audiobook, resist the urge to speed up the time if that is what you normally do. Let the words sink in at normal speed. Take deep breaths.
    • 5/5
      An amazing story with beautiful prose. I will read anything she writes.
