I'd been looking forward to reading this book ever since I heard it was coming out and I wasn't disappointed. It's an origin story of the sad ghost from the zines and online comics. I even spotted Skelly on one page! The black and white watercolour art is beautiful and the story strikes a good balance of being hopeful without being twee or dismissing mental illness. The sad ghosts don't find a magical fix to their problems, but the book leaves them on an optimistic note after discovering the importance of friendship and having someone to talk to.
