Unfamiliar, Volume 2 by Haley Newsome
4.0

I really enjoyed Unfamiliar Volume 1, and Volume 2 continues in the same cute, cozy vein. 

The strength in this story continues to be the friendships and romances between our main cast, and this volume is strong as it focuses on Sun's curse and her growing relationship with Babs. I enjoyed seeing Sun's journey unfold, though the meandering into the fairy realm felt a little disjointed. 

There's also the ongoing mystery/side quest of figuring out why so many ghosts are haunting Planchette's home. The story helping one ghost was super cute, though the reveal of where the ghosts were coming from felt a bit too rushed. 

At times it did feel like this volume was juggling a bit too much; the jumps from storyline to storyline made things feel a little too chaotic. It could have been a bit more streamlined. 

The art continues to be super cute and stylized, I really enjoy it.

Thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to read this! Unfamiliar, Volume 2 will be released on October 17th.
