Almost Summer 2

Rate this book
The school year is almost over, which means summer is right around the corner. Michelle wants to get a job at a day camp so she can hang out with some guy she has a crush on, Matthew is spending more and more time with Mary and Emily just wants Anthony to leave her alone. But before they can lounge around the pool and eat watermelon all day, our heroes still have to deal with the pressing matter of those pesky final exams - which stand in the way of absolute freedom. Volume 2 of the Almost Summer saga brings back all the characters from the previous book for another slice of authentic teenage everyday life, showcasing author Sophie Bedard's unique narrative style and remarkable talent for character development.

Après le premier, où je n'étaisbpas certaine d'aimer la série, j'ai trouvé le deuxième beaucoup plus intéressant.

Même si je comprends que c'est de cette façon que la plupart des adolescents parlent, je trouve certains dialogues exagéré.

Enfin, je crois que les autres tomes peuvent être que meilleur.

J'ai davantage aimé cette partie que la précédente. Je me suis doucement attachée aux personnages et mieux compris leur personnalité. On gagne à persévérer dans la lecture du 2e tome.

Almost Summer 1 and Almost Summer 2 were a part of my new school's library collection and a student flagged some content as a potential issue so I decided I would read them for a more thorough understanding. I am not going to pull the graphic novels, as the content did not seem particularly problematic or inappropriate for the readers, but I will also say that I didn't love the books. They seemed almost like stream of consciousness writing/drawing, with limited flow. They were both basically teenagers doing teenage things, with a bit of edginess thrown in for interest.

3 étoiles pour - Histoire bien ficelée, délicieux. À lire !

Je ne sais pas si mon amour infini / passion pour le graphisme et l’illustration biaise mon plaisir de lecture, mais quel beau petit me-time léger que de dévorer cette série de BD de Glorieux Printemps.👌🏼

Je me lance direct dans le tome 3. Ces petits ados avec leurs sauts d’humeurs et leurs émotions contradictoires me font penser aux deux miens ! 😅

Ok. I will keep reading this series, because I'm kind of interested in seeing how things roll. But Michelle drives me batty! I don't really like any of the characters. The artwork is simple but effective, but the story just jumps too much and none of the characters really have any redeeming qualities. And it's not the translation because I read this one in both languages just to be sure.

Vraiment meilleur que le premier tome. Les personnages sont plus attachants (malgré encore quelques bémols) et y'a plus de rebondissements/d'impression de progression. J'ai hâte de voir les aventures de Poussin et Maestro, et celles de Mathieu et son amie peintre ("effacé?"). Par contre, je capote vraiment pas sur Émilie et Antoine.
