Book Review: This One Summer


This One Summer is a graphic novel by Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki, i told you guys that i would still be doing my book reviews as well as my movie review because it's something i've enjoyed sharing personally! So hope you enjoy.. Let's get started, i want to share with you the synopsis of this book which is " An Unforgettable Summer. Rose and her parents have been going to Awago Beach since she was a little girl. It's her summer getaway, her refuge. Her friend Windy is always there, too, like the little sister she never had, completing her summer family. But this summer is different. Rose's mom and dad won't stop fighting, and Rose and Windy have gotten tangled up in a tragedy-in-the-making in the small town of Awago Beach. It's a summer of secrets and heartache, and it's a good thing Rose and Windy have each other. In This One Summer, cousins Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki , the team behind the award-winning skim, redefine the teen graphic novel. Gorgeous, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful, This One Summer is a vibrant view into girlhood and growing up." 

My View: This Graphic novel was sooooooo breathtaking with it's illustration as well as with it's use of writing that fits so perfectly to each detail. This is such a relate-able graphic novel that depicts what girlhood is and the problems that they have to face when wanting to grow up. Such a sweet yet like the synopsis said.. heartbreaking, and of course i won't spoil as to why it would be heartbreaking, you guys would have to see for yourselves, but i thoroughly enjoyed this graphic novel from start to finish, it really made me reflect onto some of the problems i dealt with when i was a young girl and what it meant to grow out of it as well. I think everyone should pick this wonderful story up and give it a try, take care guys :)
