This is a Paranormal Graphic Novel, and this is the third book in the Sheets series. I have read the first two books in this series. I really enjoyed the first two books in this series, but this one was just ok for me. I had a very hard time getting into this book. I am not sure why I did not connect to this book. I got an e-book arc of this book, but I did buy a copy of this book as well.

This was a perfect ending to this trilogy and it was VERY bittersweet! Loved hearing more about Wendell and his backstory, and also exploring Marjorie and what she wants to do! A lot of parallelles in this one and a lot of it deeper than we realized!

Also glad to see the dad trying even more to be an active parent here!

A beautiful ending to a beautiful series. I'm sad it's over but this satisfyingly tied up so many parts of the story.

I love this series! This installment in the series was engaging and hard to put down. I enjoyed the character growth Marjorie has had throughout, and Eliza as well.

I will read anything Brenna Thummler puts out into the world. I have loved the Sheets series so much because of the way it makes me feel while reading. The colors and the characters are warm and lovable. Although I read these digitally, I would like to have these sitting on my shelf to revisit whenever I felt the pull.

Thummler owes me restitution for this book, because it felt like a personal attack on me. I found myself relating to Marjorie so much in this book, but the end of this book had me literally in tears right before I needed to leave for an appointment. Because I felt like the words being spoken were what I needed to hear at so many different points in my life. But especially when my brain ruminates on friends that have come and gone.

The Sheets Series is fantastic, I would definitely recommend it for a lot of people. While it covers a lot of heavy topics it does it in a really good way.

"Some lights shine brighter than others- They light up different parts of your life. But see they all cast shadows, too. There's good and bad in everyone, you know? But the more friends you have in your life... well... the more, brightness you'll have overall... You can't seek the friends "you always thought you'd have." Friendship happens naturally and... Unexpectedly with people you don't have to think twice about."

"I know almost nothing about being onstage. and a tutu is probably the least likely garment I would wear. even after one of those insane neon tracksuits. But Life is sort of a stage, right? Didn't Shakespeare say something life that? The characters, the lights- some do shine brighter than others. Like some literally sparkle, almost to a fault. Some light up the spaces on stage you never knew were important, challenging you to see new perspectives. Some are duller, some may flicker, and they all can at some point, cast creepy shadows. And some like a flame, won't last forever. But they're all there, ideally to play their part- however big or small- at eliminating the darkness."

This was a wonderful graphic novel. The art work is so beautiful and I recommended this one to so many of my friends!

I loved this graphic novel series. My favorite thing about it was that it touched on deeper topics, such as mental health and grief. I also liked that it explores the nuances of family and friendship. The illustration style was also incredibly beautiful.

Such a beautiful graphic novel, from an author who is hugely talented. Lovely artwork and a great plot. Fantastic read.

It was the perfect ending for such a sweet and amazing trilogy! The fact we could explore more of Wendell’s past was really good, even though I couldn’t help it and cried like a baby 🫣
This trilogy has such a powerful message, and the characters development is really noticeable.

Thank you so so much for giving me the opportunity to get to know this lovely characters and this amazing story. It is definitely a must to read this story!!!

I love the illustrations, sheets was one of my favorites last year it was so cute and this was the same I loved every second of this cute graphic novel!

The perfect conclusion to an unfailingly beautiful series. Precious Wendell’s story was finally explored in full and was absolutely done justice, even if it did make me cry. All three volumes are so lovingly made, with breathtaking illustrations and colour palettes, wonderful stories and most importantly the most fantastic characters. This is a series I will always return to and love with my whole heart.

Thank you so much to the publisher for the e-arc, I’m ever so grateful.

A bittersweet end to the Sheets trilogy, capturing a journey of hope, friendship and growth.

Volume three starts off right where volume two ends. Marjorie and Eliza are learning how to become friends with each other while Wendall is coming to terms with Marjorie having more friends. Volume three focuses primarily on uncovering the cause of Wendall’s death and his life before he became a ghost.

The story is captivating mainly because it focuses on a mystery with Wendall as the prime focus. Wendall is such a sweet and precious character. Throughout the story we relive parts of his life through flashbacks which not only add to the mystery but helps define Wendall’s character more. Marjorie’s story is also interwoven throughout as she struggles with keeping her friendship with Eliza and her previous friends who bullied Eliza. However, it’s not that interesting because there’s an obvious lack of growth and communication which makes it more frustrating.

The pacing is much better in this volume. I think because it was centered around a mystery, the story progresses more evenly. As a reader, I could feel the characters’ emotions more stronger in this volume. The dialogues were as usual, short and crisp, with meaningful quotes sprinkled throughout. In many places, instead of written dialogues there was simple, expressive artwork which progressed the story through its tone and emotions.

The artwork is reminiscent of the first two volumes but uses more pink tones during Wendall’s flashbacks. I love how this trilogy has managed to keep a color theme, with primarily pastel tones to depict such tough and emotional topics without losing the focus. The character designs felt a little different to me in this volume. As Marjorie and her friends were high schoolers, I thought they looked a bit too old, similar to other older characters.

Overall, I’m glad I gave this trilogy a chance because it’s so powerful. In each volume there were subtle messages hidden throughout and one main message which was developed throughout. The ending is bittersweet and I hope we get a short story or two, because I’ll miss the characters. But I’m also glad our characters are getting the happy ending they wanted and have grown, even if it’s a little bit.

Having thoroughly enjoyed the first two installments in this trilogy I was really excited to see the third one coming out. I really loved that in this one we saw more of Wendell's past and what led to him becoming a ghost. We also see real growth with both Marjorie and Eliza, with a special emphasis on how you can have different types of friends that you do different things with, and that's ok. Not only was this a wonderful conclusion to the trilogy, it was wonderful to see where Marjorie started and where she ended up by the end. A wonderful coming of age story on multiple fronts.

Thank you very much for the opportunity to read this book early! I really enjoyed it. I thought the writing was very well done, and the story kept me interested. I love this series of graphic novels.

I did enjoy both of the previous installments as well. I'm not sure if I would have picked this up without knowing about the previous.

This is the third book in the Sheets series. I absolutely loved Sheets and Delicates! I'm sad it's the last one though, and honestly this entire volume was kind of sad too. I definitely could identify with Eliza, when Marjorie reconnected with her former friends. I think I would feel really conflicted, you want your friends to be happy, but if the friends are responsible for your own unhappines.. it sucks. I relaly loved Eliza, so so much. And Wendell!

Again, I'm really sad it's over, I'm glad we got to know more about Wendell, but I really don't want the story to end!

I've been a fan since the first one and it was great to see how things played out. It is heartwarming and I get all tear eyed. Cannot wait for more Brenna Thummler!

Super cute book, love the art style and the messages of the story. I feel there is some missing logic and backstory though

This is the third in a series, and I am torn between calling it an excellent standalone for just one reason. The reason is that the emotional ride the characters have been in in the past two books makes this more satisfying, but even if you stumbled on this without prior knowledge, I'd think it would still be deep and meaningful (or so I'd assume since I cannot confirm that fact).
We have two girls who bonded over the course of the last story over a ghost who is trying to explore his new world. In this book, finally, we get to know Wendell's past. Wendell has been a restless ghost, and we get to know why that might be the case. Both girls, who are of different temperaments, were thrown together when both behaved outside the norm of the 'regular' girls in school. It is now up to them to see their friendship through, even as they have different ideas as to how to help Wendell.
The dynamics of friendship are both intriguing and fragile, as many of us might have experienced ourselves.
All the emotions are set forward so simply that they will definitely take the reader by surprise at their simplicity.
I definitely liked this the best of the three and think that together, they pose a perfect package. It is one of the easier graphic novels to understand while being deep enough to evoke emotional reactions from the readers.
I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience.
