Delicates by Brenna Thummler
5.0
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
“Humans are delicate, too. The teeniest mistake can ruin them, even if you do everything else right. Just because mistakes seem small and insignificant, doesn’t mean they are.”
I've read the first book of this graphic novel series last year and really loved it so I was really excited when I found the second volume on Netgalley.
Just like the first book, Delicates is an amazing graphic novel that intricately captures the essence of of friendship, acceptance, and the struggle to belong. It helps you see how asking for help is good, especially when things get tough.
The way the artist draws the ghosts is so amazing too. Wendell, the ghost friend, is just a sheet with eyes, but you can totally tell how he's feeling just by how he's drawn. And Eliza's ghost photographs are really cool – they add an extra layer of mystery to the story.
I liked how the illustrations change depending on what's going on in the story. When things are happy and fun, the colors are all bright and lively. But when the characters are feeling down or confused, the colors get more muted and soft, which helps you feel what they're going through.
Off to read the third volume now!
