Almost Summer strikes a perfect balance between drama and comedy, chronicling the daily life of a group of teenagers. In this final chapter, Anthony is looking for an apartment while Michelle is looking for a prom dress. Matthew is trying to make sense of his own feelings while Emily is trying to assert herself. High school is almost over. But you know what they say : it’s not over till it’s over. And even then, it’s not really the end.

We’ll also be debuting Almost Summer 4 at Small Press Expo in Bethesda, Maryland. SPX 2018 is happening on the 15th and 16th of September – and we’ve been told it’s great, so we can’t wait to meet you there!
