Summary
Every year Rose and Windy vacation with their families together at Awago Beach. Rose is a year- and-a-half older than Windy and beginning life as a teenager. The two girls play together as usual but things are starting to change. Rose's mother is not her usual self and can't seem to enjoy the vacation as she used to. Rose is also becoming more interested in boys, which Windy doesn't understand, especially because the boy she's interested in has a volatile relationship with a local girl.
Critical Evaluation
This book is easily a 10 out of 10. The illustrations are incredible. Here's one example of the amazing detail you see on each page.
The story is quiet, but filled with relatable moments from childhood. Jillian and Mariko Tamaki have done a great job of capturing that in-between time when you're no longer a child, but not yet a teenager. An amazing book and easily one of the best graphic novels I've read this year.
