Every summer, Rose goes with her mom and dad to a lake house in Awago Beach. 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.

_This One Summer_ is a tremendously exciting new teen graphic novel from two creators with true literary clout. Cousins Mariko and Jillian Tamaki, the team behind _Skim_, have collaborated on this gorgeous, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful story about a girl on the cusp of childhood—a story of renewal and revelation.

**The Rules:** This is a laid-back readathon. Read as much or as little as possible, mood read or use the bingo card linked below. **My only ask is that the books you're reading have queer rep and/or are written by a BIPOC author. I'm cultivating a space where we diversify our reading.**\\
\\
**I'll be hosting sprints for free and paid members on Sunday, July 12th from 12pm to 3pm EST.** **CLICK HERE** **to access the stream.** I'll make an official post leading up to the sprints for an extra reminder. The stream will be available to access afterward. \\
