I'm not usually one for cheesy rom coms, kind of have to be in a specific mood for that, but every time I came back to this book I had a hard time putting it down. I love the concept of merfolk beings genderless beings and their whole society. Ross/Crest was just the right amount of sassy to completely fall in love with them and Sean is an absolute bean. I was endeared to the ups and downs of their relationship and genuinely wanted things to pull through in the end, which was totally satisfying, if not a little unexpected.

I love the more mature and realistic ending of the two separating but still making time for each other in their own way, with Ross going back to the Blue and Sean staying on land. It makes it stand out from other romances which prioritize sacrificing what makes you you in the name of love and I'm glad this story was more focused on the identity we gain and understand from loving and being around other people.

Though there were a few plot holes here and there, that didn't detract any entertainment I got from this book. There is a lot of talk about sex and intimacy in this book for a YA novel, though it doesn't get too graphic and fades to black when it starts getting spicy, but if that unnerves  you just be aware. I know this author likes to make their work sex positive so that understanding helped me a bit going in.

This book makes a great summer beach read and hopefully will give you the warm fuzzies it certainly gave me.
