loved the color palette of this book. cool art. it didn't really leave an impact on me (but I'm not the target demographic). I guess this was my ~spooky~ book for October? there's ghosts in here but it's not remotely scary or creepy (and I didn't expect it to be).
if I found the rest of the series at half price books or the library, I'd pick them up but it's not something I plan on going out of my way for.

Bittersweet Sheets. ❤️ Absolutely what I needed to read on a crisp fall day. The art style is beautiful, with characters lovingly rendered. (Even the sleazy Mr. Saubertuck and his most punchable face.) Revealing a grief that is quiet and thoughtful, Sheets feels like a long, steadying breath, taken in earnest before deciding to continue.

This was a cute palette cleanser! I loved the artistic style/colors. I also found the premise unique, between the laundromat and the land of ghosts coinciding in the story. There were some dark themes glanced upon and yet lots of lighthearted moments. The ending wrapped up too quickly but was so heartfelt. I also found that the businessman trying to sabotage the laundromat distracted from some of the deeper themes touched on in the book. Overall, an enjoyable quick read unlike anything I’ve read before.
