Read for Bad Bitch Book Club's Patreon Book of the Moment.
I wish YA like this existed when I was in high school! None of the books I read in high school touched on immigration or disability and I'm so glad the world is changing! I would have loved this book as a teen and I'm so glad that it's out there for teens now.
As an adult, I still love the book. I loved the storyline of becoming a mermaid, loved Alex as a romantic interest, loved Leslie as a best friend, everything. I know very little about hip dysplasia and Veronica's journey really taught me more.
I would definitely recommend this book to all ages!
