There were so many aspects of Dear Mothman that I really enjoyed. Noah is a lovable character who experiences tremendous growth over the course of the book. He has a caring family, and we get to see him forge positive, supportive friendships after losing the one friend who means the most to him. I also enjoyed the mysterious elements of the story. Is Mothman real? Will Noah ever find Mothman?

I did find the last quarter of the book to be a little confusing. The author adds a new perspective to the book, and the pacing picks up quite a lot. The ending also felt a little...anticlimactic.?Overall, though, I liked reading this book & would recommend it to other readers, especially those who enjoy paranormal fantasy, LGBTQIA+ perspectives, and sad (but hopeful) stories.
