I just finished reading This One Summer (2014), a graphic novel written by Mariko Tamaki and illustrated by Jillian Tamaki.

It is a realistic coming-of-age story focused on two friends and their respective families during an annual summer trip to a lake. I found the characters complex and interesting and the artwork fantastic. Many of the topics explored are not neatly tied up; characters and situations are presented without judgement or conclusion, creating a sense of realism and poignancy that the art complements.
