Book Review: The Sad Ghost Club by Lize Meddings

Have you ever had a day that's felt like a year? That's me today. So I thought it perfect timing to post a little review about a little book about a sad little ghost.

A heartachingly beautiful story about anxiety and exclusion. I was afraid this might be too difficult to read with my own anxiety issues. Or like a lot of mental health books lately too full of toxic positivity. I needn't have worried. This lovely graphic novel really spoke to me and I found it uplifting and genuinely sweet. I give this 4.5 stars ☆☆☆☆.5

Thank you Hachette Australia for a copy of this book in return for my independent and honest review.

Synopsis: Ever felt anxious or alone? Like you don't belong anywhere? Like you're almost... invisible? Find your kindred spirits at The Sad Ghost Club.

This is the story of one of those days - a day so bad you can barely get out of bed, when it's a struggle to leave the house, and when you do, you wish you hadn't. But even the worst of days can surprise you. When one sad ghost, lost and alone at a crowded party, spies another sad ghost across the room, they decide to leave together. What happens next changes everything. Because that night they start the The Sad Ghost Club - a secret society for the anxious and alone, a club for people who think they don't belong.

For fans of Heartstopper and Jennifer Niven, and for anyone who's ever felt invisible. You are not alone. Shhh. Pass it on.
