This is an artistically rich book perfect for fans of Ghost World. -Booklist July Underwater is an exploration of nostalgia, loss, discovery, and growing up. All of us have gone through it. It doesn't hammer its points home, but rather touches on them lightly and allows us to come to our own conclusions. -Montreal Review of Books A beautifully illustrated, poetic, at times impressionistic yet straightforward tale that is strongly evocative of the kind of reminiscences and reflections experienced during summer beachfront escapes. -Juror comments, 2016 Expozine Awards
