Carries an essential message about mental health
The Sad Ghost Club is a compelling graphic novel that earns a solid 4 star rating from me. This quick read carries an essential message about mental health, it would be a perfect choice for teenagers and young individuals (or anyone) who may grapple with anxiety or other mental health challenges. The story beautifully conveys the experience of not fitting in and struggling to open up, providing a relatable narrative for those who've felt similarly. The illustrations are engaging and add depth to the storytelling. I love that an index of mental health services has been provided at the end of the book.

Very good read
Very good, read it all in one sitting and will definitely be reading it again. If you’re thinking about reading it but are unsure, go for it you won’t regret it!

Cute art and important mental health discussions
The Sad Ghost Club is a fun, cute graphic novel that I managed to read in about half an hour (which I felt bad about considering how long it would have taken to draw all those pages, but such is the nature of graphic novels!). The drawings are cute, human forms hidden behind draped sheets over heads to symbolise their Sad Ghost identity. The art is warm and cute, but I can't say much more as I read this on my Kindle which doesn't support colour, so the art didn't come through as I'm sure it would on the page.The story was lovely. It was warming and refreshing to see mental health talked about so openly and candidly, using accessible language that readers that apply to their lives, and practical advice and ways to move forward. Obviously this book is no match for mental health therapy or medication, but that feeling it gives you that there is a way out, that there are going to be better times and there are people to know how you feel. It was a very quick but soothing read, not too heavy but not too light that it won't make a difference to people lives.So much of what was written about is so realistic and relevant, especially to my own life. The should I go, should I make an excuse, what if I get caught out in my excuse, is it worth it, can I pluck up the courage to say something, can I just push myself out of my comfort zone and hopefully it will be worth it. This is a really good depiction of anxiety and depression, and there are some really good links and resources at the end for readers struggling.

depicts anxiety very well
I was lucky to get a copy of Sad Ghosts Club by Lize Meddings and published by Hatchette via Netgalley I was so excited. I was having trouble reading this on my Kindle so I decided that I would get hold of Physical copy as I really really wanted to read it. There was something special about this graphic novel. I wasn't sure what it was but I knew it had an important message. I loved that the drawings were black and white I don't think it would of worked because the subject matter was about anxiety. As a sufferer of Anxiety I found myself in the characters of Socks and SG and know how alone you feel but when you talk to a fellow sufferer you finally realise that there are people just like you and there were people who could understand you even though their anxiety may differ to yours. I particularly liked the resources at the back of the book. I believe there is going to be a follow up and I will be buying it I am dying to find out what happens to Socks and SG and for all these reasons I am giving The Sad Ghost Club 4 stars

sweet book :)
really cute book!! i really love the story and how relatable the characters are… it’s sweet and reassuring :) the only thing that’s a minor problem is that when the book arrived there was a little bit of plastic peeling off the book (shown in the pictures). i’m still very happy with my purchase though and i’ll just tape the plastic down later!! 👻💗
