“DNF at 45% I’ve been dragging myself through this book while not enjoying any second of it. None of the stories are well developed but what they ALL have are freaking open endings, which I absolutely despise. I love mermaids and stories about them, so I’m really disappointed this just wasn’t the book I thought it would be. Nonetheless, thank you NetGalley for an arc and apologies for super late review❤️”
