Somehow, the sequel was even better than the first one. We get the same cozy, down to earth, witty style of the first book, but with more character development and a story to rip your heart out and put back in its place wrapped in a fluffy blanket.
Such a comfort read.

Will this graphic novel make an adult woman cry? Why yes, yes it will.
I absolutely adored this title just as much as the first book in the series, Sheets. Brenna Thummler has such a unique illustration style, and her color scheme transports you back to the 1990s where the story takes place.
Marjorie, the main protagonist, has even more character development from the first book and really grows. I loved the character Eliza, a new addition to the story, who is obsessed with ghosts and paranormal photography.
Delicates is an important book that touches on sensitive topics including loss, depression, and suicide. I truly hope this is not the end of their stories as I need more Eliza, Marjorie, and Wendell in my life. I highly recommend you pick up this series. -Jenny L.

Beautiful sequel in all senses of the word - artwork, plot and characters. Very true to YA experiences. Have to just love Wendell our ghost friend.

This sequel was so cute and wholesome, although I wish it had more of Wendell in it. I liked the introduction of Eliza, and the fact that never wavers in who she is....and that she believes in ghosts. Marjorie's character annoyed me, but I think that was the point.
