An Eisner Award Winner
The Tamaki cousins weave a coming-of-age tale of girlhood, friendship, and nostalgia-for-right-now that has changed the landscape of graphic novels.
Rose is always excited for summer. It means the lake house with her parents, but most importantly, it means she gets to spend the summer with her best friend Windy. This year, though - it's different. Rose’s parents won’t stop fighting and when she and Windy look for distractions, they find a whole new world. It’s full of local teens–just a few years older than they are – and one of them is caught up in something very bad and very secret. Rose and Windy have to navigate the confusion, heartbreak, and hope that comes with being right on the edge of growing up.

The graphics were amazing and the story is a good one. However, I didn't really feel like there was an ending. I was left with a lot of questions and honestly thought that maybe pages were missing from the ending. Other than that, it is a pretty decent read.
Really good, very moving!
I love the Tamaki sisters work and this isn’t an exception.
Semi-relatable story, amazing illustrations, tween protagonists, dysfunctional family
