Crest is not excited to be on their Journey: the monthlong sojourn on land all teen merfolk must undergo. The rules are simple: Help a human within one moon cycle and return to Pacifica to become an Elder--or fail and remain stuck on land forever. Crest is eager to get their Journey over and done with: after all, humans are disgusting. They've polluted the planet so much that there's a floating island of trash that's literally the size of a country.
In Los Angeles with a human body and a new name, Crest meets Sean, a human lifeguard whose boyfriend has recently dumped him. Crest agrees to help Sean make his ex jealous and win him back. But as the two spend more time together and Crest's perspective on humans begins to change, they'll soon be torn between two worlds. And fake dating just might lead to real feelings...
This sophomore novel from Jason June dives into the many definitions of the world home and shows how love can help us find the truest versions of ourselves.
๐ญMy review๐ป
So I really wanted to love this book, But I'm not into rom-coms ,I thought id give it a chance because I love mermaid stories and the cover looked interesting. It turned out to be an interesting read but it wasn't for me. Things that I really liked in the book were the acceptance and the normalcy of labels, gay relationships and curvy characters. I also liked all the details and backstory of Pacifica. But it was just an okay read for me. It was kinda annoying how many times they mentioned rom coms. It just wasn't for me.
I give it 3 stars โญโญโญ
