Very sweet novella of a little mermaid retelling with a black trans woman mc, a sapphic romance and sign language.

Plot started off ok but got pretty boring once she was a mermaid. Would have liked the love interest to be Ursula instead :/

A very adorable, quick and wholesome read! A great little cozy retelling of the little mermaid with a twist. I can also definitely tell the writers skills have grown a lot between the first book and this one. I really enjoyed it

A lovely short retelling of The Little Mermaid with a black and trans main character. I didn't enjoy it as much as the Cinderella retelling (which had me crying like a baby) but it was still a nice read.

Cute queer and trans re-imagining of The Little Mermaid.

The world building is a little hand-wavey and the plot is slight but it fits with the fairytale feel. I’d recommend this for fans of the movie who wondered why the heck Ariel wanted to leave her underwater home.

There were some typos and editing issues that took me out of the story.
