I really did not know what to expect when starting this book, but right off the bat I became so enthralled by Ren’s voice and perspective. At times it had me laughing and crying at relatable girlhood moments to reflecting on my own sapphic experience. So much was beautiful and enjoyable about this book.  Mermaids and sapphic longing carried throughout to the very end kept my heart on edge, but so worth it and fulfilling.
