Very entertaining and unexpected interpretation of the prompt, but I enjoyed it. Along the way David ended up helping a second love pair in the story, Oscar and Jake/John. They had a few secrets of their own they needed to talk over. The moral of this fairytale, in order to be happy, be your true self even if you don't fit in and you'll find joy. And along the way, you could find the someone who loves and accepts the real you, just the way you are. Thanks Al and Claire for the wonderful story and thanks to Laura for the wonderful prompt! I also can't forget Noah Homes for the awesome cover :) I give this highly entertaining HEA read 4 Merman Stars This books is very confusing to me. I don't know why the story needed Osar and Jake/John, because all happened in its due course and David was 6 when he first met Gul. That makes him 36 at the time of the second part of the story. Am I wrong? Did I miss something? No? Yes? If I am right, then why is he "middle-aged"? O.o The language in the first part was off. I don't know if it's me, but it seemed a bit out of focus. How do you "eat tea"? And later, just when I thought David was too far into the ocean because (not exact quote) "can't breath. waves closing above his head", the author would inform me that David was in the water up to his knees... waist... chest... and so I kept going back in forth, afraid that something was amiss. The sand-eating-and-counting part was plain trippy. I was getting worried for everyone involved, imaginary or not. There is more: what Kira said. So how did I get to 4 stars (which is mostly for the first part)? I have no frigging clue. It's a mystery, yet here I am: final score - 4 stars. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In my opinion it's built with no care and many details appear without any explanation, clearly deus ex machina products. I found especially annoying the absolute lack of connection between both parts: any clue, no plausible reason during Part One for the introduction of Oscar and John.
Without being a big fan, I'm able to enjoy a fantasy read as long as it have internal consistency. This is not the case.
However, I appreciate its good writing and the Samsa vibe from David, hence my two stars rating. ( )
