I feel like this will be selected as a part of the JLG, it's a brilliant combination of coming of age story in graphic novel format.

DNF'd at about a third of the way through, unfortunately, the art style did not capture my attention and I couldn't make myself continue reading.

I loved Loewinsohn's first title, Ephemera. However, I felt Raised by Ghosts lacked the same focus and insight into Loewinsohn's adolescence. It came across very superficial and rushed and ultimately, I did not feel as connected with Loewinsohn as I did with Ephemera. I do feel the message is applicable to the intended audience, so I would still recommend this title, but it is not one I would revisit.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an eARC for me to review!

I did not fully read the summary and was expecting actual ghosts, so boo to me for that. :'(

The art is sketchy and lovely, very well rendered. I like how most of the dialogue is in notes between Briana and her friends, or diary entries. The relationship with her parents could have been fleshed out further.

Overall, a very nicely designed book. Just not enough ghosts!!!
