Thank you so much Netgalley and Brenna Thummler for the ARC!
I wanted to throw a hissy fit when the book ended too quickly - without telling us more about Wendell, the family he belonged to, who he was waiting for. Then I realised there are two more books in the series!
I didn't enjoy the book from the very first moment. In fact, I considered putting it off because the starting was so slow. Then, Wendell's story caught my attraction and I really wanted to see what happens to him in the end. I felt so sad for the poor guy. Death isn't my favourite topic of discussion, especially when it involves drowning and a child. I felt for Marjorie too. Playing the role of an adult when her mom recently passed way with the responsibilities of her unstable father and young brother on her shoulders, it's surprising how she didn't crumble from the weight. I suppose some of us don't have the luxury to quit. It is a book worth reading. So, if the pace frustrates you too, hang on! It will get better.

I expected a cute story about bedsheets ghosts in a laundry shop but got an emotional and dark story instead, that became way deeper than the back of the book let on.
I still liked it and think it is a very creative way of dealing with the topic of death.

katya_m's review against another edition
Sheets é um pequeno grande livro que aborda questões pertinentes e temas sensíveis, como morte, luto, isolamento, solidão, responsabilidade, amor-próprio, superação e coragem, do ponto de vista de uma jovem adolescente que, à morte da mãe, toma a cargo o negócio da família, a gestão do núcleo familiar e o seu próprio futuro.
Com um estilo gráfico amoroso - que em nada lhe retira mérito -, e um nível de criatividade que faz suspirar ou sorrir pela sorte de personagens verdadeiramente cativantes, Sheets funcionará na perfeição como a obra juvenil que é. Comigo funcionou e eu até nem sou grande apreciadora do estilo "algodão doce" da autora.

i’ve always heard everyone recommend sheets and thought i would get around to eventually. i wish i had gotten around to it sooner!! it was so good and sweet and heartfelt.
the art style is so unique in the realm of graphic novels. and the message and depth were unmatched. i want to be able to read it again for the first time.
