Culling from real life experience, Medeiros weaves a story of joy, sadness, and the magical feeling of summers that last forever, that will keep the reader engaged until the very last page. As for the art, Medeiros has divided the look of the art into two distinct and compelling styles to capture the journey of self-discovery and growth the character is experiencing.
