I knew going into this that I was going to love it - I adored Sheets, the first book in this series - but I was not expecting how much I would love this.
The art is, as always, stunning. I love the colour palette, and the way colours flow from scene to scene.
The story was... intense and emotional and brilliant. It was real and raw in a way you don't see many people approach 8th graders. It had elements of hope and elements of loss and it all blended to effortlessly together to create a story that truly felt REAL (with ghosts, of course haha).
I love this series, I would highly recommend to graphic-novel lovers and non-graphic novel readers alike.
