mckennaur 's review for:

Voice of the Ocean by Kelsey Impicciche
3.0

i mean for a debut, YA novel this was amazin <3
some of you bitches, take notes, because the writing, overall plot and characters were really really great. also that one fan art by frostbite.studios (look it up) is. to. die. for.

that being saiiiid...

It starts off WAYY too similar to the little mermaid. I love the... twist that's revealed around the 50% mark and maybe i'm just dumb for not predicting it but i wish it was alluded to way earlier. I feel like this would have made it way more humorous and clear to the reader that its not just the little mermaid copied... word for word.

I don't think I've ever read in the POV of a character that didn't speak but I found that dynamic to be really fun and enjoyable... until... she did speak... and one of the first things she says is a cringey middle schooler come back
