There were so many awesome themes to be explored in this one, but the author fell flat with them. So many topics are brought up but not delt with.

Darker and slower than the first book. Not a standalone.

The characters are still incredibly flat in this one. Some of the commentary is just plain weird and doesn't make sense.

The ending is the only reason this is 4 stars and not 3.

Onto the third and last in the series!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I thought this was a great sequel to Sheets. Marjorie is still a good character and Wendell. I think that Eliza was a great addition to the story. I like how she is a photographer and believes in ghost. This book deals not only with grief, but bullying. Marjorie does not know how to act in front of these kids at school. How Marjorie brushes the ghost aside because she was trying to be a normal kid. She still loves Wendell.

Well that was a lot of emotions to feel in one book. I love all of the lessons Marjorie learned in this book and that she put those lessons to use immediately to repair harm she had done, her friendships and relationships.

I cannot wait to read Lights next.

A sequel to sheets, this story was a great continuation of the series. I liked how multifaceted the characters were, you both love them and hate them through their actions much like in real life. The book delves into serious issues like grief, loneliness and suicidal thoughts in an approachable way for a younger audience.
Again I love the artwork and the colour scheme, so nostalgic yet aesthetic. Looking forward to continuing with the series.

"Everyone has ghosts. I think we all need to learn that there's no shame in letting them out." Once again this one was even better then the last. Living in the skin of a middle schooler again does bring back some memories and I think it's a story some people can very much relate to. Amazing work and can't wait for September to read "Lights".

A second time with Marjorie and Wendell pulling on your emotional strings. This time the story is about teenagers growing up, struggling with fitting in, peer pressure, bullying, being alone, mental health, watching out for each other and trying to forgive. Thank you to Oni Press and NetGalley for the ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given.

I really enjoyed this sequel. Eliza is such an interesting character and I appreciated seeing their friendship develop.

Longer and heavier than SHEETS. But so lovely and so needed by so many.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was a great follow up to sheets. Great story. Lovely sentiment. Brilliant illustration. Love this graphic novel.
I hope there is another follow up to this.
Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

This was so light hearted with deep things and tough things that some kids go through. I enjoyed it as it was another fast read.

3.5 stars.
It was pretty good, but a little heavy handed with the message it was trying to show. It did more telling than showing, which is interesting considering this is a graphic novel...

Brenna Thumler is kind of a genius and I'm IN LOVE with this middle-grade coming-of-age ghost world set at a laundromat!!!

You should definitely read this series mayhaps. Because the art style is absolutely wonderful and colourful and my favourite kind. The characters are full of light and warmth and definitely not perfect but that's what makes them loveable. And it's a great time!!!!!

Onto the third (and final *cries*) book IM EXCITED <3<3<3

After reading Sheets Volume 1 I ran straight to pick this up! This volume follows Marjorie and Wendell similarly with an extra character of Eliza. Marjorie has been accepted by the popular kids at school who target Eliza, the lonely girl at school who loves ghosts and photography.

Again I loved the story and illustrations. Marjorie was extremely unlikeable in this volume until the end as she is allowing and turning a blind eye to the bullying of Eliza in and out of school. The story brought to light a lot of important topics especially mental health and suicidal thoughts. I wish Wendell was in the volume more. The whole series is extremely emotional at times and Thummler goes into so much depth.

A great continuation to the to the first volume. I liked the exploration of friendship in this and I loved the new character Eliza and we explored a of of things with her including mental health (trigger suicidal thoughts) and I loved how she makes friends with Wendell as well. I really enjoyed this volume and Marjory I really like her as a main character and I really liked the friendship between her and Eliza and can’t wait to see that develop. 5 stars.

Tears? I'm not crying. Must be the... stupid onions.

"Delicates" was an incredible sequel to "Sheets". I just want to say that Wendell is the most adorable and innocent character to exist and I love him.

This book is set one year after "Sheets". Marjorie has been working the laundromat with the ghosts helping her. She's also made friends with the popular kids that used to bully her. But then Eliza joins their class after being held back a year, Wendell feels like he's being ignored by her and Marjorie is forced to reconsider her friendship with them.

All my praise for "Sheets" remains true as "Delicates" continues to talk about more issues such as peer pressure, bullying and mental health.

I have little else to say except for that this book is amazing and also the illustrations are gorgeous (who chose this color scheme I love it)

I want to thank the author, publisher and Netgalley for giving me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Final rating: 4.5/5

*I was given a copy of this book by Netgallery for an honest review*

Have you ever felt like your different? Do you see the world in a different way than other people? Eliza has felt alone for a long time. She takes pictures of the world through the eyes of a paranormal investigator. Trying to take photos with proof of ghost all day as left her isolated from her peers and the people that she loves.

Eliza has finally turned her life around. Her family’s laundry mat is booming with business and she finally has a group of friends. Wendell and the other ghost still hang around and are Marjorie’s best friends, but something is still missing.

When Marjorie, Wendell, and Eliza’s path cross one day. They don’t see eye to eye, but through encounters with Marjorie’s new “friends” Eliza feels isolated and more alone then she has ever felt. Will Marjorie and Wendell help Eliza, or will things begin to stain like the sheets at the laundry mat.

I couldn’t stop crying in the book! Marjorie and Wendell have grown so much and have delved deeper in their relationship as friends and adding a new character “Eliza” into the mix has made the story even more magical. This book really shows the daily life of middle schoolers with the way they all want to belong somewhere and the way the book was written shows that the author knows what it’s like to be a middle schooler!

I would recommend this to anyone feeling alone, and know that help is always around the corner if you ask for it.

* This review mentions depression, suicidal ideation, and bullying. *

Marjorie Glatt and Wendell, the ghost, are back in this stunning follow up to “Sheets”.

A lot has changed in the time between “Sheets” and the sequel, “Delicates.” Marjorie is entering the eighth grade with a new group of friends, a maybe-boyfriend, and a new attitude. Meanwhile, Marjorie’s new friends, and shifting priorities, have been leaving Wendell feeling shunned and more of a ghost than ever.

“Delicates” also introduces a third protagonist, Eliza, the daughter of loveable P.E. teacher, Mr. Duncan. Eliza spends much of her time alone, trying to capture photo evidence of ghosts around town.

Again, I’d like to start by expressing my admiration for the artwork of this graphic novel. The full-page panels (I think they’re called splash panels?) are especially beautiful!

While “Sheets” was mostly spent in Marjorie’s family laundromat and held an introspective view on grief, “Delicates” explores interpersonal relationships, bullying and depression by broadening the setting to include more school scenes and glimpses around the town of Finster Bay. Another contrast to “Sheets” is the pacing: “Delicates” definitely improved upon the sometimes too fast pacing of “Sheets” and progressed in a very logical manner that allowed ample time to process the narrative.

Like in “Sheets,” I have a deep appreciation for Brenna Thummler’s ability to balance both heartbreaking and heartwarming subject matter, though I must say that “Delicates” is a much darker story than its predecessor. Thummler deals with these darker themes very well and in such a way that feels productive rather than romanticized (as can often be the case when depicting depression and suicidal ideation to a young audience).

This graphic novel includes a bullying plotline, which, although I don’t love, is well written and feels realistic. There was also a level of realism in the interactions between the teenage girls, especially in the dialogue between Marjorie and her friends.


Overall, I really enjoyed this graphic novel. It is a wonderful follow-up to “Sheets”

Oh man I didn’t think I could love this more than the first but I was wrong!

A strong sequel to Sheets, I laughed and I cried.
Every character was relatable and transports you back to a time of being a teenager, of not knowing who you are and the trials of trying to fit in. I absolutely adored Eliza.

I was disappointed there wasn’t as much Wendell and the other sheet ghosts presence in this one, but I realise the focus needed to be on other things.

Again some sensitive topics, but they are handled beautifully.

Thanks NetGalley and Oni Press.

5/5 ⭐️

The second book in the Sheets trilogy was somehow even MORE enjoyable than the last. This book introduces new issues for the characters to face, both internally and externally. Once again the art style and colour palette are absolutely delightful, so beautiful I wish I could have some frames as artwork. An amazing sequel!

Disappointed with this one. I didn't enjoy it at all and the illustration style made me uncomfortable.
Maybe too young for me to have enjoyed so I wont expand too much on my thoughts as it would be unfair.
