Real Mermaids Don't Wear Toe Rings
by Helene Boudreau
4.5 stars
This book is flipping awesome. The humor, the character flaws, the MERMAIDS...awesomeness.
Jade is a great heroine, in that she is. not. a. mary. sue. Finally! A character who has flaws, who doesn't have ten different guys who think she is the most beautiful human being they've ever laid eyes on, who isn't the girl that rules the school, and who does not have enough money to buy ten mansions and a yacht. She's REAL. She has problems that girls will relate to. She struggles with her weight. She is going through a rough patch with her friend. She recently lost her mom. And her dad embarasses her when she is talking to her crush.
The whole mermaid thing is great too. I have around four 'mermaid books' on my kindle waiting to be read, and I am pretty sure this one will be among my favorites. Not since Emily Windsnap have I enjoyed a book like this so much!
Also, the ending is wonderful. I want to read the sequel now, and badly. It's sigh worthy, it really is.
So, if you are thinking about reading this, I highly recommend it. Especially if you love humor (really, this book is so darn FUNNY), real problems, and a good book in general.
