"I know. I didn't think I'd feel
so weird about this."
This follow-up graphic novel to All Summer Long (2018) has been long anticipated. It is a fan's chance to catch up with Bina and her love of music. She's in grade eight now, and still very interested in creating and playing music in a band. Her new friend Darcy is excited to play keyboards. When they realize that a drummer is what they need to improve their sound, they find Enzo.
Darcy and Enzo begin dating and quickly decide they need a new sound; Bina is out. Austin, Bina's neighbor and best friend, provides sympathy while also seeking support following a break-up with his girlfriend. After spending time together, Austin shows a romantic interest in Bina. Her interest lies only in music, not dating. How weird would it be to date your best friend? she worries.
It is tough for Bina to prove herself as her own person. She is bright and capable, and finds a way to make new relationships work while also following her own path. Written and drawn by Ms. Larson, then colored by Hilary Sycamore and Karina Edwards, this is a worthy novel that offers strong characters in familiar circumstances and will be appreciated by fans, old and new.
Readers will welcome back matter that includes Ms. Larson's explanation of her work as this story evolved. Useful and very interesting to read.
