Fun read!
Loved it! A different take on a romance.
This is a great book for teens. It has no real world consequences and it has moments of dejavu from another mermaid tale. The best character by far for me was Finn. Why he fell for the main character is something I’m still trying to figure out.
I really enjoyed this light, quick read. It had just the right amount of everything. The story flowed well with steady pacing. There were a few places with errors, but they were minor, like a word typed twice. I enjoyed the story’s plot and enjoyed the characters. Tara was likeable, and I liked Fin’s aunt too. There was minimal cussing and only kissing. This was a cute YA read. 3.5-4 stars ( I kept going back and forth with the rating)
