This was cozy, quick romantasy. Merrow is a mermaid burdened with saving the magic of her tribe by using her siren song to lure a man into the ocean to die. Owen is a quiet artist who works at a coffee shop near the ocean. He often dreams of the ocean and a specific mermaid, which he memorializes in his artwork.
This book was just so cute and cozy- perfect for a summer read. Merrow and Owen were made for each other. I got a kick out of how Merrow adjusted to life above water. You never really think about how confusing literally everything would be, from phones to tvs to reading!!
As an art teacher I really appreciated the peak into the working artist’s world with Owen. Art is a nice little side job but rarely does anyone ever make it big. Owen’s messy apartment, gazillion sketchbooks, and desire to paint by the ocean are so real. The muse will catch you at any moment!
The found family theme was beautiful. There’s nothing like knowing someone loves you. I *do* wish I could see more of Caspain’s story. He was a super interesting side character.
