This One Summer

I absolutely blazed through this in about 30 minutes because I was loving it. First off, the artwork and the use of framing is gorgeous and engrossing. I love the choice to use blue ink throughout rather than the standard black. There is also a great sense of atmosphere and nostalgia: the beach of your childhood, long stretches of afternoon, no responsibilities, the slow-moving beach town with both enough and not enough to hold your attention.
My one complaint is that the story cuts itself short at every turn. Every storyline could have been richer, deeper, more detailed, yet whole scenes end too soon, leaving the reader feeling, for lack of a better word, cheated. I would have read 50 or even 100 more pages of the story had it kept going because the art is so soft and childlike in the best way. I'd still recommend it, though, because the reviews are so widely varied.
