My Last Summer with Cass
My Last Summer with Cass | Mark Crilley
4 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
This One Summer meets The Edge of Seventeen in this poignant coming-of-age YA graphic novel about two childhood friends at a crossroads in their lives and art from the author of Mastering Manga. Megan and Cass have been joined at the brush for as long as they can remember. For years, while spending summers together at a lakeside cabin, they created art together, from sand to scribbles . . . to anything available. Then Cass moved away to New York. When Megan finally convinces her parents to let her spend a week in the city, too, it seems like Cass has completely changed. She has tattoos, every artist in the city knows her. She even eats chicken feet now! At least one thing has stayed the same: They still make their best art together. But when one girl betrays the other's trust on the eve of what is supposed to be their greatest artistic feat yet, can their friendship survive? Can their art?

Maybe I'm just too distanced from young adult drama, but something about the choices made and even the pace of the reconciliation bugged me. Good art, enjoyed the almost water colour tinting in a limited palette.

Megan spends two weeks in New York with her childhood best friend Cass, but finds herself having to choose between their powerful friendship and something else she values. What a stunningly beautiful graphic novel! Every pannel was a treat to look at, and their friendship was fun to exolore.I absolutely loved this. (I also couldn't stop thinking that Megan looks a lot like Disney's Ariel.) #Comic #Friendship #Artist

The strongest part of this book was how it portrayed a complicated friend dynamic. It really highlighted the highs and the lows of their friendship well.

Overall, I enjoyed this graphic novel, but ultimately was left wanting more. If you like art or are an artist yourself, you may like this one!
