In this, we meet a lonely thirteen year old in charge of the family's laundry business and the ghost of a boy who lost his life much too young, and the story is about what happens when their worlds collide.
Review:
This was a sweet and enjoyable read.
I absolutely loved the art style in this. There is so much detail to it, the color palette is fantastic and I like how there's sometimes a lot of art without any text; the pictures speak for themselves. There are also several full page spreads of just art and they're amazing.
The story explores grief and loneliness, but it doesn't feel overwhelming, it feels pretty balanced. The ghost works as a sort of comic relief in some ways and I think that worked well without it feeling like it was too much.
I do think the pacing is a little off; the end comes about extremely quickly. The plot isn't the strongest either.
Overall though, this is worth the read if you like graphic novels. It's sweet and heart-warming, but still has depth.
