Why people recommend it
This One Summer is an acclaimed graphic novel written by Mariko Tamaki and illustrated by her cousin Jillian Tamaki, capturing the emotional complexities of adolescence during a family vacation. On The Book Review podcast episode titled Inside The New York Times Book Review: Before the Fall, released on July 18, 2024, Maria Russo recommended the graphic novel during a segment on summer reading. Russo highlighted the previous work of Mariko Tamaki and praised the artistic contribution of Jillian Tamaki, describing the resulting book as one of the most emotionally gorgeous and resonant stories ever set during the summer season. The narrative centers on a young girl navigating the awkward transition between childhood and early maturity while observing adult tensions at a beachside community. The sensitive writing combined with atmospheric visual art creates an immersive experience that addresses friendship, family secrets, and changing bodies with remarkable honesty. Russo's endorsement called attention to the graphic novel's profound ability to evoke the bittersweet nostalgia of youth and the enduring power of seasonal memories.
