This was super cute and lovely. As someone who spent the majority of xyr teen years alone this book just kind of hit right. I'm really glad I gave it a chance

This book brings me so much comfort I can't even begin to explain how important books like this are to people who have been through depression and anxiety themselves. Made me feel less alone.

“for anyone who has ever felt like a sad ghost”

Anxiety and depression are depicted in the everyday life of Sam (SG) who just wants to fit in and do well at school. When SG works up the courage to go to a party, they instantly regret it. Until they meet another sad ghost named Socks. They leave the party to go to SG’s favourite spot where they talk all night. SG and Socks share their anxieties and discover they are kindred spirits.

I absolutely adored this gorgeous graphic novel. The illustrations are just beautiful and the story really hits home. Meddings uses ghosts as a metaphor for feeling invisible and through her characters, shows the relatable feelings of anxiety in everyday life.

This graphic novel is perfect for anyone who sometimes feels like they’re a sad ghost.

Thank you to Hachette for sending me this one in exchange for an honest review.
