The Sea in You by Jessi Sheron

geekwayne's review against another edition

3.0

‘The Sea in You’ with story and art by Jessi Sheron is a graphic novel that is a modern take on the Little Mermaid fairytale.

Corinth is a new girl and shy, so she doesn’t make friends easily. She has a controlling boyfriend who has his own band. One day, while cleaning the beach, Corinth has a run in with a real life mermaid named Skylla. They begin a tenuous friendship that becomes more. When Skylla decides to move to the land, she makes a deadly deal that may change Corinth’s life forever.

I liked this story of growing friendship and romance between different worlds. The story feels a bit predictable, but still makes a couple nice twists. The art was ok, but nothing spectacular.

Cute, fun, emotional beats a bit predictable but the twists in the magic were entertaining.

This was everything! I loved this so much! The art was gorgeous and plot was everything I wanted. I love sirens falling in love with humans tropes and this was an amazing variation of that! The relationship between the main characters was absolutely amazing as it had such a strong friendship base. I could sit here and gush about this for ages. Just trust me and do yourself a favor and make read this!
