Chosen as a recommended read by our Guest Editor, Neill Cameron
Edging up into YA, this story of two childhood friends growing up and growing apart over a summer in a beach town is sensitive, powerfully honest and just an absolute masterclass in comics storytelling. It’s an incredible work, full of incredible atmosphere and pacing and the most beautiful artwork that human hands could ever hope to make. ~ Neill Cameron

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 mom 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. One of the local teens - just a couple of years older than Rose and Windy - is caught up in something bad... Something life threatening. It's a summer of secrets, and sorrow, and growing up, and it's a good thing Rose and Windy have each other.
