The Moth Diaries by Rachel Klein | Gothic Horror Meets Unresolved Sapphic Tension

The Book Fix

In this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli review The Moth Diaries movie adaptation, with a few insights into how it aligns with and diverges from Rachel Klein’s novel. The story centers around a sixteen-year-old girl at an exclusive boarding school who keeps a diary filled with her deepest thoughts, particularly about her intense fascination with her roommate, Lucy Blake, and Lucy's growing friendship with a mysterious new student, Ernessa. With pale skin and hypnotic eyes, Ernessa’s arrival triggers a series of ominous events, stirring fear and suspicion among the girls. The diary’s central mystery—whether Ernessa is truly a vampire or if the narrator’s own mind is clouded by jealousy and imagination—creates a gothic atmosphere where fantasy and reality blur in chilling ways. Join the besties as they discuss whether or not they would recommend this spooky book!
