The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea by Maggie Tokuda-Hall

3.0

2.5 it was kinda cute but it just did not work for me. i didnt love it, it didnt super pull me in, i didnt feel very attached to any of the characters, it felt like a lot of things happened in a short amount of time and it would have been better as a longer book or a series so those things could have been more fleshed out instead of a whole new subplot that ends in a chapter. like the witch stuff was cool and all of a sudden it was like nope! done with that! the pacing was just. strange. i had to make myself keep reading also. also i didnt really buy the romance. it didnt feel developed at all? like we barely saw flora and evelyn interact. the one thing i enjoyed was the Sea that was super cool. the ending was also weird to me. like bro you’re gonna give up your life, abandon your brother, and become a mermaid just so you can be with this girl you just met?? idk.
