This was a cute graphic novel that touched on how depression and anxiety can impact an individual. I am glad there is a sequel as I feel this first volume was just an introduction and more so touched on topics, characters and storyline rather than fully explored them.

The Sad Ghost Club is an absolutely beautiful graphic novel that looks at all the full range of emotions that come with anxiety, depression and loneliness.
Often all three of the above become deeply enmeshed and interlinked and Meddings shows this so tenderly within the book.
She also allows the reader to step into the shoes of someone suffering from GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) who is constantly on edge, constantly worrying and always scanning their environment.
A gorgeous graphic novel (both illustrations and story) which will bring comfort to some and enlighten others.

I loved this so much! It was so wholesome and sweet. This is great representation of mental health and how it affects people differently. I love that the ghosts are just metaphors and only other ghosts see you as such. The inner monologue of anxiety was depicted really well with the art.

This book didn't give me the same depth and comfort as the short comics, but it's still a sweet and helpful story about mental health. 🤍
