Delicates by Brenna Thummler
4.0

I think Delicates resonated with me more than Sheets did. I thought the feeling of being an outsider, but also wanting to fit in is so typical in your teenage years. So is being different from everyone else. Eliza was such a sweet girl, but everyone just thought she was different and did not respect or understand her. Instead she felt isolated and ghost-like.
When we finally realize that everyone's differences are what make us amazing and that being popular is so ridiculous, life is so much more amazing. Sadly that doesn't typically happen until after high school.
There is a trigger warning for depression and suicide for this book. I thought it was presented and dealt with very successfully. Delicates pulls at your heart strings but leaves you with a smile at the end.
