Brenna Thummler has delivered an incredible resolution to the Sheets graphic novel series with this third installment. After absolutely loving Sheets and Delicates, I was eager to request an ARC of Lights. In this final book of the series, Marjorie, Eliza, and Wendell will finally fully solve the mystery of Wendell's death.
And along the way, there is so much more. Marjorie and Eliza struggle to figure out what friendship means when Marjorie makes new friends who Eliza doesn't like. Eliza searches for what it means to embrace her self proclaimed weird identity but also crave acceptance and friendship. And of course, there are beautiful, poignant lessons about what grief looks and feels like for different folks.
I tried to keep this review relatively spoiler free in case you haven't read the first two books, and let me say GO READ THEM NOW. Thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for an ARC in exchange for my honest review. This one is truly top tier.
