![]() ![]() ![]() It’s one of those rustic shops near beach vacation spots that have everything from marshmallows to DVD rentals–anything vacationers would require. Right away, Rose develops a sort-of crush on the boy who works at the local convenience store. One key aspect of This one Summer that makes it so good is that Mariko Tamaki is able to capture accurately what it’s like to be an adolescent girl. But trouble starts brewing when Rose sees her parents argue and pull apart from each other. Though it seems strange to have everything resolved by the time the vacation is over, This One Summer uses many common events adolescent girls will experience to navigate growing up to relate to the audience. Rose meets up with her summer vacation friend, Windy, who is a year-and-one-half younger. This One Summer is the story of fifteen-year-old Rose heading to Awago Beach for summer vacation, just like they do every single year. ![]()
