I really loved this book. I don't usually like the fake dating trope but I think that it made sense in the context of the story. The choices that the characters were making felt age-appropriate and worked in terms of the plot. I hated how <spolier> the characters don't end up together at the end, because I was really rooting for them . Despite this, still a fun, cheesy, happy book to read.

Holy crap!

I never knew I needed a book of merfolk that came out so perfect like this. Out Of The Blue was just a perfect light fantasy with a gentle touch of magic for me. This is perfect for me who love The Little Mermaid in general.

This book has a sweet and cute story (but with some heartfelt moment) that made me; who read it... cry. I just love Sean and Ross (a.k.a Crest). I love them so much equally. They're made for each other. A fantasy dream book of merfolk and brief their history for me.

Oh! And I love Kavya too.. also Elder Kelp! We can't forget about them and their wisefulness. Thank you for bringing this book to life, Jason. I appreciate you. Can't wait to read Jay's Gay Agenda as my other read for your book!

I this was fun. Not super memorable, but fun. Dragged a bit in the middle, and some very high school actions from characters (which I suppose is expected for a YA book).

I am… so conflicted. On one hand I loved this. I like the writing style, I like how well rounded Sean was with his different hobbies and interests, I like Sean and Crest together, and I liked the ‘fake dating’ going on. On the other hand I didn’t like it. I didn’t like the cheating wishy washy ex (although an argument could be made that that was the point lol) but I kinda also don’t like Miguel. I also really didn’t like Sean’s best friend despite her reasoning for her actions. And honestly I’ve never seen an ending like that and I feel like it was age appropriate yet at the same time I didn’t like it. Again so conflicted but I also kind of loved this book.
