TW: Bullying, Suicide attempt

I enjoyed the first graphic novel Sheets and I was intrigued to read more by this author. This second book, Delicates follows the same main characters with some additional new characters but you don't necessarily have to read the first one to read this one. I thought the story was good but was not expecting the intense bullying that happens in the story. Aside, it was strange to me that one of the only people of color in the story was the target of bullying and criticizing and just racist jokes/lines were thrown in there with no real need. I thought Eliza's character was interesting and I enjoy Wendell's appearance and wish him and the ghost had more appearances. For some reason, this story didn't fully hit the mark for me. I felt the bullies in this situation were sort of let off easily and that Majorie didn't really have a backbone. But I know this book has a specific audience so this story could resonate with some pre-teens out there but I feel there are other stories out currently that better handle themes like this one.
