What the hell (I'm trying to keep my language civil, here) was that? It was a mediocre excuse for a mermaid tale, at best. Oh look, I answer my own rhetorical questions. How pathetic.
Crap, crap, this was utter crap. I cannot even begin to convey how awful this was. I cannot even begin to explain to you why I chose to pick this book up and then proceeded to actually finish it. It felt like the author was telling me what the characters felt--I don't enjoy being treated like a stupid reader, thank you very much. Yes, I understand that boyfriend number #1 (I forgot his name) isn't the love of our protagonist's life (I forgot her name too), so stop shoving your not-so-subtle hints down my throat! I enjoyed the idea behind the ending in theory ((view spoiler)), but Davies most certainly did not pull it off. The characters were also unbelievable--why does everyone hate her (I think her name starts with an m...) after her friends die in an accident? It clearly wasn't her fault. Why was her grandmother so deluded, and why does the protagonist magically forgive her in the end? There was absolutely no mystery whatsoever, every character fell flat (and went splat!), and the romance was puke-inducing. It was bad. Trust me when I say that.
I could probably go on forever, but I honestly don't want to waste any more of my time on this piece of...
*sighs*
I don't know why I do this to myself--I'm attracted to a pretty cover, even though I know that nothing substantial exists underneath. I think I need help.
