Loved the mermaid lore, characterization, and perfect level of romance for a YA title. Great body rep and queer rep. Highly recommend, can’t wait to read their other books!!!

I was so excited to see a book with a nonbinary main character, and was not disappointed! The gay mer romance of the summer, and all summers to come!

All warnings are super mild and dealt with in a really great way, and personally found it to be very safe.emily_mh's review against another edition

I don't know how I feel about this book tbh... Like I genuinely don't know what to rate it.
It made me cry multiple times, which is great obviously, and I really liked the ending! But I also didn't like all of the miscommunication issues that were going on and the way some of the characters acted in certain situations... Like I get that they are pretty much all teenagers, so we should expect some drama but still.
Anyway like I said I don't know what exactly to rate this, but I think a solid 3.75 stars should be good. Really liked the representation and the way all the emotional stuff was handled! Can't wait to see what I think of the authors other book!
Thank you Netgalley and publisher for the ARC of this book.
(Also this review is a bit of a mess because I'm in a lot of pain right now, so yeah sorry about that.)
