A really gorgeous, quiet story about an adolescent summer.

Somehow this book captures the essence of summer. The vacation, the lake, and late night scary movie sessions with your friends. There was family drama, there was small town drama, and all the adventures a pre-teen on summer vacation could want. Though at times it felt like Rose was a little callous towards a lot of the things that were happening around her. But on the other hand, that’s kind of the way teens and pre-teens can be. My feelings on this one are all over the place. I loved it, I hated it, it made me long for the summers of my childhood. So I think I’m giving this one three and a half stars.

I can see how this could be relatable if I was in my early teens, but I was generally underwhelmed by this.

Really did not connect to any of the characters. I found all of them to be quite frustrating. Only finished reading because it’s a quick finish.

It’s a cute, fast read. It’s a slice of life story, so there is no defined beginning or end. Nothing is resolved, which makes sense because that’s how real life works, but as a reader, I prefer knowing without a shadow of a doubt how things turn out for the character.

The two main characters are two girls in their early teens, and it was refreshing to read a story where the children are written realistically!

And the art is incredibly gorgeous!
