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 was pretty good. The author really illustrated a snapshot of being a young girl very well. I feel like many girls have been a Rose or a Windy at some point in their life. If you are looking for a deep plot or some kind of conclusive... conclusion? this may not be for you. I would enjoy this as almost a series of vignettes about "this one summer".

Hope Larson is right. The Tamakis have raised the bar for young adult graphic novels.
