      In the paper under review, the authors classify the optimal mock Jacobi forms of weight one with rational coefficients. The space they span is thirty-four-dimensional, and admits a distinguished basis parameterized by genus zero groups of isometries of the hyperbolic plane. They show that their Fourier coefficients can be expressed explicitly in terms of singular moduli, and obtain positivity conditions which distinguish the optimal mock Jacobi forms that appear in umbral moonshine. They find that many of Ramanujan's mock theta functions can be expressed simply in terms of the optimal mock Jacobi forms with rational coefficients. The structure of the paper is quite different in a positive way. The authors give exact three research questions to motivate the readers and continue with the main results. Notation guide is also helpful. The paper is concluded with an appendix on descriptions. The paper is clearly written and well organized.
