This book was magical and perfect. The atmosphere was so dreamy and mythical, like something straight from Spirited Away. 
I absolutely adored the characters and their adventures down beneath the sea.

Omg I really enjoyed this book!! The writing style wasn’t my favourite but I loved the plot and the characters so much. It was such a fun read with a great mixture of angst and fluff. 
Really hope we get the second book soon !!!

I loved this book so much. It felt like a perfect rom-com movie. 

Eliza and Caz were so lovely and adorable and I really enjoyed their relationship. It broke my heart when they were going through their issues, and then fixed my heart when everything was solved between them. 

I hope their relationship lasted a long time <3
