This was a cute graphic novel that explores the impacts of mental health on a person. I enjoyed this volume a lot more than the first one as I feel we got a lot more exploration of the characters, their mental health struggles and the overall plot line in general.

I very much like how all the ghosts aren't gendered and so could be anyone. This book is so relatable about feeling alone and all the anxious thoughts.

The Sad Ghost Club 2 is an emotional story about loneliness and finding friendship with kindred spirits

The Sad Ghost Club 2 is a beautiful continuation of The Sad Ghost Club, and I am excited to read the third book in this series!

A really cosy heartwarming read examining what it is like living with depression and anxiety especially in social situations.
Very relatable, picking up where the first left off and how hard it can be to share how you feel. The illustrations add to the warn feel as the emotions and themes are examined.

I absolutely adored The Sad Ghost Club so was very nervous when I began TSGC2 that it wouldn't live up to its predecessor but thankfully it was just as beautiful.

Volume 2 rejoins Sad Ghost (SG) and Socks when they're beginning to branch out to find others like them. As their adventures continue we see the recurring themes of anxiety and depression delved into a little deeper.

Lize shows with tenderness that even when there's absolutely nothing wrong you can still feel horrendous and want to hide away, even from those you're close to.

Meddings hits the nail on the head with yet another gorgeously drawn graphic novel which normalises the often taboo topics of depression and anxiety.
