lighthearted

slow-paced
3.5
Thank you Netgalley for providing me with a digital arc of this book!
3.5 stars 🌟
My life is a Shakespearean tragedy.
Oh same Harper, same.
Harper's dad winds up dead and due to his unresolved murder,he comes back as a ghost to help Harper with the investigation. Harper has to team up with her ex girlfriend T, her friend (with a few benefits) and T's brother to solve this case. Someone is lying and they need to figure out why.
For a book with a plot this grim, this book was actually hilarious. The characters had these one liners that had me cracking up.
Okay, the illustrations were gorgeous! We also got a main character who was clearly a member of the LGBTQIA so yay!! 🎉🎉
And I liked the cliffhanger ending.
However, this story was a little too convoluted for me.I found out it was a Hamlet or Hamilton retelling which I haven't explored so maybe the confusion was also on me, but I feel like this story could have been simplified further( since it's a YA comic).
With that cliffhanger, I'm eager for the next volume.
