Taproot follows a gardener named Hamal who can see ghosts. In fact, his best friend Blue is a ghost. As Hamal builds up the nursery where he works at, he also spends time communing with ghosts that frequent the shop. The thing is that Blue may be in love with him and trouble is brewing in the community as someone finds out about Hamal's ability to see ghosts. 

The art in this book is unbelievable. I would buy so many prints of this to hang up all over my house. The blues, greens, and moody overall tone of the art is amazing. I also love the speculative aspect and queer love. However, the plot didn't make a lot of sense to me. But I didn't mind because the art, atmosphere, and characters were so lovely.

(Thank you to the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.)
