the art was beautiful but I WANT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT EVERYTHING

fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes

This is very slice of life preteen/teen graphic novel. There’s a few things that if they had been resolved or discussed in more detail I would’ve enjoyed this way more but it’s alright nothing wrong with this and if you are a same place every summer travelers I think you might find this nostalgic.

“Awago Beach is this place where my family goes every summer. Ever since... like... forever.”
I really enjoyed this book. I liked this book way better than skim by the same 2 people.

3.75★: A DECENT COMING-OF-AGE STORY THAT ISN’T TOO HEAVY The characters were drawn younger than they were, so that took some getting used to. It had a bit of mystery to it and I think it was fairly realistic. The co-creators are cousins!

Again a YA graphic novel, but a better one at that. Some strong female characters and a good plot line.
Would recommend.

Lots of Dirty Dancing vibes here. This was super atmospheric, the illustrations were lovely, but the overall story left me wanting a lot more. I don’t know what the author was trying to tell us with this story, other than giving us a snapshot of a young girl’s summer at her cottage, which she was definitely successful at, but I still needed more.

This wasn’t anything extraordinary but I could definitely feel what it was like to be a kid when everyone around you was talking about grown-up things and you didn’t know the wiser, which was disorienting, in a good kind of way. I didn’t like how Rose treated Windy throughout this. Windy was still trying to hang on to that childlike innocence but Rose just kept shooting her down. It made me sad for Windy, honestly.
