A Gift for a Ghost by Borja Gonzalez

​ ​A random library find, this book drew me by cover appeal. And proved to be an interesting if uneven read.
Borja Gonzalez is a self-taught Spanish artist and is obviously talented. Panel after panel reveals striking imagery and silhouettes all set in a very specific color palette. 
The story is somewhat muddled, somewhat whimsical. There are two intersecting narratives, one from the past one from the present.
In the past, the protagonist is a young aristocrat who’s meant to be preparing for her social debut but all she wants to do is write abstract poetry and you can just imagine how well that goes over with her family.
In the present, there is a band of three teen who wanna be punk but don’t have the talent for it.
So, it seems like a YA novel, which in my book is categorically a no-no for adult audiences, but this one is so short you won’t mind the (oddly faceless)  characters' youth too much. And the intersection twist is clever, so there’s that. 
But to be honest, there just isn’t that much to the story or of a story here. It’s mostly a mood read, mostly an art book. And as such it’s pleasant and has a certain charm.
