The reveal of the truth at the end was such a pivotal moment and the plot had been building up to it the whole time. There was no particular chemistry between the protagonist and the love interest, it was sort of a romance of convenience given that he was the only boy-nay-the only other teen on an island full of oldies. Those three activities were rotated for a good 180 pages and it felt overdone. Even though the holiday was supposed to be exciting because it took place in another country, it seemed rather boring as it involved 1. The art was beautiful and the blue colour palette and elaborate drawings really captured the beauty of Greece and the holiday adventure vibes. However, the creepy atmosphere and any potential it had built up was completely squandered by an underwhelming ending that fell entirely flat. What set this comic apart from your average coming of age story was the hint of an unsettling tone in the background. *Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.*
But there’s no escaping the pains of growing up, and she’ll soon learn that life on a small island where everyone knows each other’s business may not be all it’s cracked up to be.ĭrawn by SIMON GANE, the artist behind Eisner-nominated Ghost Tree and THEY’RE NOT LIKE US, and written by ANDI WATSON, author of The Book Tour, Kerry and the Knight of the Forest, and the forthcoming Punycorn. The Warners are everything her parents are not-glamorous, sophisticated, and carefree-and when Rachel meets Benjamin, a handsome young friend of the Warners, her summer seems to be taking a turn for the better. So when family friends invite her to spend the summer with them in Greece, she jumps at the chance to escape her life and finally be treated like an adult. With her summer already mapped out for her-a job working at the butcher and a caravan holiday in Clacton-it seems like this year will only bring more of the same. It’s a world of brown sauce, warm beer, and scrambled eggs every Tuesday.
Rachel is a teenager who lives a gray suburban life in gray suburban England.
