A review by _darbi_
American Mermaid by Julia Langbein

Did not finish book. Stopped at 17%.
was excited to start this after hearing rave reviews from the dogeared books podcast.

however, 56 pages in, the slow plot is not quite delivering on my own anticipation. the main character feels aimless in her development and the plot itself is split between chapters directly from the mermaid novel that she has authored and her experience in la and book to movie adaption. not a fan of this format!
