This One Summer by Mariko Tamaki follows the story of **Rose** and her family as they spend their summer at a lakeside cottage. The narrative explores the complexities of adolescence as Rose navigates the challenges of growing up, friendship, and the changing dynamics of her family. Throughout the summer, she reconnects with her childhood friend **Windy**, and together they confront the realities of life, including family struggles and the onset of new feelings. The graphic novel beautifully captures the bittersweet moments of youth, delivering themes of friendship, love, and self-discovery against the backdrop of a nostalgic summer.
