Wow I didn’t read the blurb for this book on purpose because I’ve just heard really great things about this book and I wanted to be surprised. All I knew going into it was a horror book about mermaids and now that I've finished it I’m literally speechless. First up, Jade song's writing is gorgeous like underlined so lines because I was in of her writing. Also, when reached to The last page I literally had to flip back because I was like there is no way The book is over. Honestly, the way she wrote about REN felt so vulnerable and real and my heart broke for her over and over.  Definitely there are triggering themes in this book but it really is a beautiful prose of figuring out your identity along with all the trials of relationships that bound us to this human world.
