This One Summer
This One Summer is a graphic novel written by Mariko and Jillian Tamaki. Two Canadian based twins. The story follows Rose, a pre teen who goes to a cabin with her parents during summer vacation. She meets up with her friend Windy as they have their own summer fun. The art style of the novel was truly beautiful, it complements to the realism of the drama that’s laced within the story. The expressions of the characters each scene would give context to their real feelings, even if it’s never really told in the story. The story has a sense of realism, and allows any reader to be able to relate to one or more problems that occur throughout the story. Including subjects like, marital problems, teen pregnancy, miscarriage, and sex which is heavily used in the story. Sex and sexuality is the main topic of conversation between the two girls as they slowly approach their teens and start seeing the world with a different view.
