nancyboy's review against another edition

Sheets by Brenna Thummler is a very charming graphic novel. The aspect I love most about Sheets is the art, it is incredible. I love Thummler's style, it's what makes the world and the characters feel alive. Every scene is full of details and all the colours complement each other so nicely. As someone who creates art, I can tell how much time and effort when into every single frame and scene in this graphic novel. The story is not very complex, but it was simple and endearing. Though at times I would say the story was a bit to cliché for my liking. Sometimes the characters seemed a bit flat, which is a by-product of the story sometimes being a bit cliché. Nonetheless, I do recommend this graphic novel and will definitely read Thummler's future works.

Full disclosure I own a copy of this book and NetGalley had it as an e-ARC, so I downloaded it from there too to raise my NetGalley ratio.
I enjoyed the artwork in this graphic novel! I liked the depiction of the human world and the ghost world, and I assume there will be an expansion of the differences in future books. Basically, the main human character runs her family’s laundry mat and is dealing with grief over her mom’s death. The main ghost character does not like that he is dead, so she sneaks into the human world. They both end up helping each other and starting a friendship.
This book heavily deals with the grief of losing your mother and sorrow over death, if you cannot handle that do not read this book.

3.5 - Story was cute. Nice little read you can knock out in 45 minutes. But the artwork gets 5 stars. Visually just beautiful.
