Week 12

For this week, we focused on comics by women. I was excited for this week's focus because I was looking forward to reading This One Summer by the Tamaki cousins. I really love Jullian Tamaki's work and had followed her for years. This read was super enjoyable and refreshing. It was beautiful and poetic. It presents the story of two teenage girls as almost a diary. It feels very nostalgic. This contrasts the harsh life lessons presented in the graphic novel. I thought the powerful mix of these two concepts made the graphic novel extremely memorable.
