This One Summer by Mariko Tamaki
3.0

I absolutely adore the art work - the simple lines of the figures accompanied by the intricate scenery is fabulous. The story also tugged at my heart, mysterious and heart felt. Though I would’ve liked a more conclusive ending, but then maybe I wouldn’t like it as much if it was more closed book? I feel the openness of the ending sums up the whole ‘looseness’ of the book - the loose feeling of summer holidays and the days blur into one another
