Beautiful and gorgeous art. Phenomenal, even. The story, however, doesn't follow through what it promises. 
 Two young girls in the fringes of girlhood experience summer revelations. The story is often messy without any resolution but that's how life is; things don't get resolved in two weeks. The protagonist, Rose, is quite judgmental and calls every girl in the neighborhood a "slut". Both her mother and her friend, Windy, calls her out on it but Rose simply brushes it off. It isn't okay for a teen or anyone for that matter to make that kind of judgment but that's what she is - a teen and quite immature. Rose is swamped with a sadness transcended from her parents troubled marriage. And this sadness consumes her every waking moment. 
 She is unnecessarily invested in private life of a guy at the store - a plot that doesn't do anything to the story. Then again, there isn't much of a story to begin with. 
 Its more of a story for adults. A nostalgic throwback at idyllic summers spent with friends doing absolutely nothing and everything. Its best to leave this book at that.
