This was a wonderful story. Nixie has lived on a beached boat since she was 5 years old. Her father has 3 wives, and there are others on the boat as well that Nixie would call her family.
One day some teens are partying on the water when something goes horribly wrong and one boy falls into the ocean. Nixie saves this boy named Crew and he calls her a mermaid.
This story is definitely well written YA, but I think that adults may like it as well, I know I did! But adults should go into it knowing you’re not going to get an almost NA book it’s definitely YA all the way. Nix starts sneaking away with Crew and experiencing “dry land”, finding out secrets along the way. It’s a captivating story that sucked me in from the start. It wrapped up perfectly.
