Spoilers Ahead: 
The second book in the ‘Sad Ghost Club’ series written by Meddings, and she managed to stay consistent and engaging throughout. The series is quickly becoming one of my favourites, for sure!
We follow SG and Socks, the two ghosts from the first book, as they plan to meet up with someone who found their poster, and wanted to meet with them to feel less lonely. When SG and Socks meet up the day after the poster is put up, SG is really excited to meet the other sad ghost, but Socks is just very tired. They have a lot of qualms about meeting up with this ghost, and they don’t really want to go, but they aren’t give much of a choice - SG has a certain ability of not listening!
They go to meet the other sad ghost. Their name is Rue, and they get along really well with SG at first, so much so that Socks is left out, and they leave early. They spend the days after in their bed, pushing people away so they won’t do it to them first. When SG turns up one day, thinking everyone is annoyed with them because Rue isn’t responding either, they talk it out and SG says that they will always be there for them. And they go and find Rue, and they say the same to them, and then they decide to make an even bigger club, for even more sad ghosts. When lots of people turn up, they are shocked! SG is a bit nervous, but with their friends by their side, what can go wrong?
A beautiful book, and another perfect representation of mental health. We got to see a little more into Sock’s character this book, which I adore because Socks is beginning to become my new favourite character. t’s very humbling, seeing how much all these characters represent me. I’ve been in a situation like this a few times before, and I reacted the same way that Socks did. To be honest, I’m not a fan of the way SG reacted to Socks’ mental struggles at all. I don’t know whether that’s part of their character, but it felt a little bit demeaning for Socks. Especially when they came over and immediately started talking about Rue? It felt a little insensitive to me, but I suppose I am biased, as I have been in similar issues. It would be interesting to hear what other people think of SG, as I don’t remember them being like that in the first book? Although, I’m not too sure, but I think that maybe SG has some form of autism - I could be 100% wrong - and if that’s the case, then it really has been done well for the character.
Also, I didn’t realise it at first in the series, but the ghosts go by they/them pronouns, and I love that! It’s the perfect use of them, and I really love the subtle inclusivity in the book. Honestly, it may not seem like a big deal, and it works really well for the plot too, but just as someone part of the LGBTQ+ community, it’s such a refreshing thing to see. Just one of the many reasons why I loved reading this book, and I would definitely recommend!
