A review by fernwormreads
This One Summer by Mariko Tamaki

challenging dark reflective slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

I felt like the subject matter was a bit too strong for characters that are aged 11/12. I understand that the topics in the book does affect children of that age but it was uncomfortable to read. Maybe that was Mariko Tamaki's intention.
