Every summer, Rose goes with her mom and dad to a lake house in Awago Beach. It's their getaway, their refuge. Rosie's friend Windy is always there, too, like the little sister she never had. But this summer is different. Rose's mom and dad won't stop fighting, and when Rose and Windy seek a distraction from the drama, they find themselves with a whole new set of problems. One of the local teens - just a couple of years older than Rose and Windy - is caught up in something bad... Something life threatening.
It's a summer of secrets, and sorrow, and growing up, and it's a good thing Rose and Windy have each other.

This One Summer is great for young adults since it's very much for them and the main characters are young adults. But I would also recommend it to anyone that reads, whether they read comics or not, because there's no chance that someone picks this up and doesn't get swept away by the story. There's no way they don't start seeing a little of themselves in these pages or a little of their family and friends. It's not just a graphic novel, it's an experience and one that I would highly recommend you jump into much like the characters on the front cover. Read Full Review
Though the themes and issues of "This One Summer" are large and emotional, Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki execute the story with such precision and care that it never tips into melodramatic, instead preferring to be quiet and nuanced and thus infinitely relatable, real, and emotional. "This One Summer" is a near perfect book and an example of two creators working in such perfect sync they appear more as one creator than two. Read Full Review
