If you saw me crying over Ethan’s letter at the end of Issue 1, no you didn’t... Jokes aside, 'A Haunted Girl' is a beautiful collaborative project between father and daughter, rooted in experiences that resonate with many. 
 
Addressing depression, anxiety, and the feeling of not wanting to live anymore in a sensitive and grounded manner while maintaining a positive reading experience is no small feat, but Ethan and Naomi have certainly pulled it off. This, coupled with Marco's art bringing the story to life, results in an incredibly unique and enjoyable graphic novel. 
 
Beautiful, heartfelt, and incredibly compelling, this graphic novel is a must-read. As always, make sure to check Content Warnings to keep yourself safe, but if you're able to, I highly recommend picking this one up when you next crave an engrossing graphic novel. 
 
Thanks to NetGalley and Image Comics for the e-ARC. All opinions are my own.
