I was sent a review copy via the publisher through Net Galley. All opinions are my own. 

Set in the late 90s, Delicates follows Marjorie Glatt a year after her mother's passing, and her laundromat was infested with ghosts. In this sequel, we follow Marjorie's eighth-grade year, trying to fit in and find herself while her dad and younger brother are still grieving the loss of her mother. 

This story is filled with metaphors about being a ghost and feeling invisible. I loved the focus on Eliza, a Black girl who is passionate about photography. Specifically, paranormal photography. She uses the darkroom at her school and teaches the reader about dark-rooms and how they operate. As a photographer, I really appreciated this aspect of the book as I used a darkroom in my Digital Photography classes in high school. 

I really enjoyed the way depression and suicidal thoughts were dealt with. Eliza, who is bullied at school for her interest in ghosts and ghost photography. We learn why she is so infatuated with the subject of ghosts and the message of how bullying really affects someone mentally which Marjorie also learns. 

This is one of my favorite graphic novel series and I really enjoyed the sequel and getting to see where the story went after the ending of the first.
