She's not a mermaid, but she is the one who shakes up Arty's life, makes him mad and mad for her, and helps him find a pathway to his past, his future, and where his heart truly lies.Teens will recognize their own emotional landscape in this steamy, funny, coming-of-age tale in which the heart tries to hide, only to be utterly exposed by love and lust, lost and found.

Ratings and reviews

read this at 17 while in juvenile detention, one of the best books I read for my mindset at the time. helped passed time in the cell. and my homeboy loved it, he originally recommended it to me while we were locked up. Very funny moments, great characters, just a good coming-of-age book. romance parts were the highlights as well.
