Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
From Jason June, author of the breakout teen debut novel Jay’s Gay Agenda, comes Out of the Blue, a stand-alone dual POV queer rom-com that asks if love is enough to change everything you’ve grown up believing. Perfect for fans of Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas and Deep Blue by Jennifer Donnelly.
Crest is not excited to be on their Journey: the month-long sojourn on land all teen merfolk must undergo. The rules are simple: Help a human within one moon cycle and return to Pacifica to become an Elder—or fail and remain stuck on land forever. Crest is eager to get their Journey over and done with. Humans are disgusting. They’ve polluted the planet so much that there’s a floating island of trash that’s literally the size of a country.
In Los Angeles with a human body and a new name, Crest meets Sean, a human lifeguard whose boyfriend has recently dumped him. Crest agrees to help Sean make his ex jealous and win him back. But as the two spend more time together, and Crest’s perspective on humans begins to change, they’ll soon be torn between two worlds. And fake dating just might lead to real feelings . . .
This sophomore novel from Jason June dives into the many definitions of the word home and shows how love can help us find the truest versions of ourselves.

“This book was a ride. I was enjoying myself through the first half. Who doesn't like a YA mer gay romance? But then the second half of the book rolled around. There were so many morally questionable choices that instead of the story being fun, it began to become uncomfortable. (And I'm not referring to the s3x jokes)
By the time the ending rolled around, so much was happening just BECAUSE. The line between chance and natural intervention tried to be drawn in this book, and it was awkward. Events collided into place a bit awkwardly. I didn't enjoy the back and fourth tugging of the romance. The ending was very bittersweet after all of this. I'm okay with where the characters ended up, but I feel like it could have been wrapped up better.
My favorite part of this book is the whitty and comical writing. There were so many times I was laughing at the remarks the characters would think about. Of course I enjoyed the non binary mer and the mental health representation.
In the end, I'm still going to recommend this book. Anyone who loves fantasy, queer and romantic comedies should find themselves this book.”GreyRose
