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.

Every time I read This One Summer (Jillian and Mariko Tamaki) I come away with something new. I bought the book when I started high school, when it had just come out.

Love that book.

I still can’t get over this.

A girl in my comics class, keep this in mind,,, said that she didn’t like a comic we read because:

“To me stories like this are more impactful if the person is like telling me directly. This like— visual medium, just doesn’t work for it at all in my opinion.”

I had to hold in shouting

“WHY ARE YOU HERE THEN?”

#she said other things as well #i don’t think this was her main point #but honestly there was no critisim in her words #it was just very opinionated #its ok not to like smth #because of your own experiences and feelings on a matter #but thats not valid criticism #besides the book was remarkably innofensive #book was #this one summer #btw #thoughts

Book Review Reviews Blog

Going through a 1-star review and answering their dumb questions. This is about This One Summer. The review actually formed most of its questions as literal questions, so that's a plus.

This will contain spoilers.

"Where is the plot?"

It's about a family, so the plot is in learning why the daughter and father hate the mother. There is no plot! It's about being on vacation!

"Why are there these two 12 year olds talking about sex all the time?"

Twelve year olds are pretty curious about that stuff, because they don't get it, even if someone actually tried to explain it to them, they would say ew gross not you! (especially their parents) and keep on trying to figure it out from their peers. To be fair, it's kind of a sad/uncomfortable graphic novel about a teenage pregnancy. So it was the girlfriend of a boy working at the convenience store that one of the twelve year olds has a crush on and starts trying to snoop into his social life.

"What even happened in this book?"

They spend the days watching horror movies secretly, and going to the beach and eating candy, as you do on vacations. The father goes back to the mainland (for work) and everything the mother says annoys the daughter, who is dealing with her crush on this guy who won't call his "slut" girlfriend, who gets humiliated by some guys heckling/catcalling her at her dosant job at a Native museum. At the end, the daughter overhears her mother explaining to her aunt that one year ago the last time they were on this vacation, she miscarried while swimming. She must have told the father, but not the daughter, so their family got really tense while she grieved.

"Why was there no conclusion?"

That was the conclusion. If you didn't care about the mother O.K. but she got in a fight with the whole family at the beach and stormed off, so, you knew something was coming. I think pairing a miscarriage with a teen pregnancy kind of makes sense, it's two kinds of pregnancies that are, you know, sad. Also one of the girls leaves to go home, I think that's a fine conclusion. A lot books have pretty lame conlusions, but I want to argue the case for this one.

"The last sentence was boobs would be nice what the heck what the heck what the heck?"

It's about these two 12 year olds talking about sex. It's low-stakes, it's supposed to be down-to-earth and really zoomed in. It's a weird subject for the art and backgrounds to be so good.

"What is the purpose of this graphic novel?"

Its purpose is to be a 300 page book you can read in half an hour, its purpose clearly was to illustrate a summer island, I have no idea what I would have felt reading this as a 12 year old or 17 year old which frankly is when I bought this book and never read it (summer kept on running out like sand in my hands, and I don't know how to read graphic novels or poetry books or anthologies) it probably would have scared me.

"Am I still addicted to the cover? Yes"

I did buy it because I thought it was about girls love (which did scare me, I felt like I hate to hide it and such,) and I tried to queerbait this book to get people to buddy-read it with me, but it's about cousins.

My conclusion?

A lot of these reviews are going to just be me smugly saing "it's slow paces, it's about the characters, it's slice of life, it's low stakes" maybe through this project I will learn an answer of why someone would want to put us through that.

Mariko and Jillian Tamaki on the Cost of Roaming

The duo’s previous book was banned extensively. But their latest graphic novel is their freest tale yet

Roaming is Jillian and Mariko’s first collaboration in nearly a decade. When This One Summer was published nine years ago, it was widely praised by reviewers and readers alike, becoming a New York Times bestseller. Its success might be attributed to the fact that, like Roaming, so much of it feels recognizable—the story about friendship and youth is one most readers can see themselves in. But This One Summer also quickly climbed the American Library Association’s charts of most-challenged books and was banned from some school libraries for its inclusion of LGBTQ2+ characters, profanity, and sexual themes. What followed was a free-speech protest, international media coverage, and a joint statement by Jillian and Mariko. The series of events highlighted how brutal and arbitrary book banning can feel and raised questions about what the banning of diverse stories means for impressionable, diverse audiences.
