They can transfigure to human legs to walk on land, and when they cry in the sea there is no actual tears, but their eyes sparkles the same color as their fins. I could perfectly picture a Little Mermaid like castle at the bottom of the sea. The entire book she uses those cute-as-pie mer-like expressions with fish and sea plants names (that I honestly have no idea what they look like lol) and Thalassinia really looks like it’s out of a fairy tale. Tera Lynn created a fantastic, magical world you will completely fall for. Her journey will bring her to realize not everything is what it seems and she might have to reconsider a future she thought was set in stone. But nothing is simple and she will end up on a rollercoaster of emotions with Quince as co-pilot. Desperate enough to trust him, she dives in with his crazy plans and a kiss will change her fate forever.įorgive my Fins is a really cute story! Lily is convinced Brody is the (mer)man of her life and she dives head first trying to confess him her feelings. When she finally decides to ask Brody to go to the dance with her (after much fuss), all hell break loose and her nemesis, Quince steps in to “help her”. She’s got freezy blond hair, freckles and some serious self-esteem issues. If you ignore the huge fact that she’s half mermaid, Lily has never stood out in a crowd, unless it’s been to humiliate herself. Lily has been living on land for only three years now, the some of which she spent fantasying over Brody: swimmer, cool, sexy, and oh-so-popular Brody. When Lily’s attempt to win Brody’s love leads to a tsunami-sized case of mistaken identity, she is in for a tidal wave of relationship drama, and she finds out, quick as a tailfin flick, that happily-ever-after never sails quite as smoothly as you planned.” – Book Cover

The problem is, mermaids aren’t really the casual dating type – when they “bond,” it’s for life. Sure, land has its problems – like her obnoxious, biker boy neighbor Quince Fletcher – but it has that one major perk – Brody. When Lily found out three years ago that her mother was actually a human, she finally realized why she didn’t feel quite at home in Thalassinia, and she’s been living on land and going to Seaview high school ever since, hoping to find where she truly belongs. Lily’s mermaid identity is a secret that can’t get out, since she’s not just any mermaid – she’s a Thalassinian princess.

Unrequited love is hard enough when you’re a normal teenage girl, but when you’re half human, half mermaid like Lily, there’s no such thing as a simple crush. “ Lily Sanderson has a secret, and it’s not that she has a huge crush on gorgeous swimming god Brody Bennett, who makes her heart beat flipper-fast.
