A sweet, predictable, read about a grieving girl running a laundromat. There’s an evil fat (literally) cat property developer wanting to buy the laundromat and kick out the family. Will the girl with the help of her ghostly friends save everything in time?
Spoiler: I said it was predictable, so yes, obviously they will. Everything works out in the end. I wish the real world were as ultimately karmic as here. Really, that’s what makes me saddest about the story — just how in the real world, being sweet and kind may not mean you win at the end of the day.
In any case, my nine year old read Sheets about thirty times in a row. For about a month, it was always the last thing opened on my reading app because she would just read it from start to finish again and again and again. I hope she absorbed some of the message and turns out to be sweet and kind too.

I received a copy free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
