This One Summer

by Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki

Every summer, Rose goes with her mum and dad to a lake house in Awago Beach. It's their getaway, their refuge. Rosie's friend Windy is always there, too, like the little sister she never had. But this summer is different. Rose's mum and dad won't stop fighting, and when Rose and Windy seek a distraction from the drama, they find themselves with a whole new set of problems. It's a summer of secrets and sorrow and growing up, and it's a good thing Rose and Windy have each other.

I really loved the whole idea of this book but the plot was lacking for me. There really wasn't much of a purpose or moral to the story which I think is what bothered me the most. It felt like it was all building up to something and then nothing happened.
