Significant Anagram: Noah's apartment building is called Sternom house. It's an anagram for monster, as everyone who lives there is one.

Figure It Out Yourself: The climax reveals that it's forbidden to tell someone about their inner monster; they have to figure it out on their own. Lissa and Monroe only tell him after he's figured out that they're monsters and nearly exposed them in his desperation to figure out the truth.

Traumatic Superpower Awakening: The climax reveals that throughout the book, Lissa and Monroe have been trying to trigger this trope, aiming to scare Noah's inner monster out of him so he'll hurry up and be able to transform like them.

Double-Meaning Title
 How I Met My Monster / int_a4905771
comment
Double-Meaning Title: The title at first refers to his friend, who is thus his monster. But with the twist, the monster is himself, and the story has the vibe of a coming of age story, so he is meeting himself by the end.

Adults Are Useless: Noah's parents do the usual disbelief thing and it's actually made worse by the reveal that they are all monsters, as they knew he was right but didn't tell him due to some rule about letting him discover his inner monster himself.
