I definitely judged a book by it's cover. It looked really cute from the front, but was definitely really weird. The in depth detail of how mermaids have sex... was a lot. There were some really good elements in the book, like finding out that you need to love yourself, what depression looks like in a parent, and how to grow in a friendship. I had a feeling that I knew how the book ended, and I was mostly right, but the plot twist (the way I had thought) had another plot twist! I really loved the representation of different kinds of queerness, genders, and love. There were bi characters, lesbian, gay, and non-binary all represented very well in this book.
