I really wanted to read this book years ago, and I wish I'd read it then, to satisfy my desires. I would have gotten this train wreck out of the way and then I could have easily forgotten about it.
But no. The only thing that I can honestly congratulate this book on is the amazing feat that it's the worst book I've read in so long for SO MANY REASONS all at once.
Like it seems like it takes more energy to have horrible characters, plot, reasoning, and writing, all at the same time, than to just mess up on at least a few of them, save for the work's few redeeming qualities.
Now, I happily put this book on the shelf of horrible- should-not-have-been-written-mermaid-YA-novels along with [bc:Siren|6970490|Siren (Siren, #1)|Tricia Rayburn|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388502780s/6970490.jpg|7209895] and [bc:Lost Voices|7656222|Lost Voices (Lost Voices, #1)|Sarah Porter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1286695920s/7656222.jpg|10230258]
I would also like to note that the author messed up so bad that she named both the father figures in this book the same name, she gave the heroine siblings who were actually nonexistent book or just put in ambiguous characters almost every other chapter, and she pushed the whole "christianity/religion" thing way too much that it was overbearing and distasteful.
