Unrequited love is hard enough when youâre a normal teenage girl, but for mermaid Lily Sanderson, thereâs no such thing as a simple crush.
Lily has a secret, and itâs not her huge crush on gorgeous swimming god Brody Bennett, who makes her heart beat flipper-fast. Lilyâs mermaid identity is a secret that canât get out, since sheâs not just any mermaidâsheâs a Thalassinian princess.
When she discovered three years ago that her mother was actually a human, Lily finally realized why she didnât feel quite at home in Thalassinia, and sheâs been going to Seaview High ever since.
Living on land has its problemsâlike her obnoxious biker-boy neighbor, Quince Fletcherâbut it has that one major perk: Brody. The problem is, mermaids arenât really the casual dating typeâwhen they bond, itâs for life.
When Lilyâs attempt to win Brodyâs love leads to a case of mistaken identity, she finds out, quick as a tailfin flick, that happily ever after never sails quite as smoothly as you planned.
