In this book, Alice discovers that her extraordinary swimming abilities, her webbed toes, and the fact that she can breathe underwater, all mean that she is a half-human descendant of a mermaid. When her half-sisters come looking for her, and a mysterious man appears to her in a vision, Alice must decide if she really can believe in a new type of magical life, or if her damaged past will keep her from accepting the love of her new family.

I wanted to like this book because it's about mermaids, and I kept reading the book because of the mystery surrounding a shipwreck, but I didn't enjoy it that much.
The writing is odd and strange, and I skipped a lot of random explanations of things.

A better title for this book would be "Mermaids Having Sex", because even though there's only one sex scene that I had to skip, every character in the entire book is overly sexualized, as if everyone's primary characteristic is their sexual identity, and they have no depth beyond that. And that got boring really fast.

The only part I liked was the mystery about the shipwreck, and even that was a disappointment at the end. The plot is too straightforward, and I was looking for more complexity and depth.
