I've not read the book or the author, but i love the quote. ?

"It's the colors that will make you stray. The not-blue and the searing light, and no matter how tightly you tie yourself to the inbetween, eventually you will break free. No one swims only in the shallow water."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I picked this book up because I love anything related to mermaids and selkies! I didn't expect to love it as much as I did. The multiple POV flowed seamlessly and the characters were well developed. The family bonds were strong! Not to mention to mystery and suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. You know it's a good book when you wish there was a sequel.

Trigger warnings: eating disorders, self harm, kidnapping, and abuse.

Finished this book abut selkies and love, while waiting for my LCAC to be fixed. I wish I knew if Noah and Mara come back together.

I love stories about mermaids, selkies, fairies, etc. They take me away and make my heart smile.
