This was a beautifully written and drawn YA coming of age story that is told in verse.

I have never read anything quite like this and I mean that in the best way. The short form verses tell so much with every word and the illustrations tied it all together.

It felt like we lived the whole summer at camp with Norah and the rest of the crew. 

It brought back so many coming of age memories and how important all the little moments are. 

I highly recommend this if you like coming of age stories, verse or graphic novels. It was a beautiful amalgamation of all of them to me. 

Thank you tandem collective and tundra books  for the book and the read along 🤍
