This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to Harper Impulse for my copy of this book via Netgalley and to Rachel for letting me be part of this tour. I saw this book on Netgalley months ago but I just hadn't had the chance to read it so when I saw Rachel was organising a tour it was the perfect opportunity.

I'm going to say off the bat I really struggled with the beginning of this book. I found it was difficult to like Clemmie. I don't know why I just couldn't connect with her. The same for the mermaids and Charlie. The book clicked for me about 50-60% in. From then on I couldn't put it down. Looking back I don't know why I couldn't click but I'm glad I didn't DNF. The second half of the book was a lot more engaging and made up for the struggles at the beginning.

Charlie turns out to be quite the guy when you get to know him. He's been through a lot and he's not exactly what he seems at first. I kinda fell for him just a tinsey bit (A LOT).

Clemmie and the mermaids found a way under my skin and into my heart. With their singles nights and their crazy lives I actually really learned to like them.

This book made me extremely hungry. I was constantly thinking about food throughout it. I would recommend you do some baking before sitting down with this one.
