I enjoyed this book but I didn't really love it. It was one of those books that you like but probably won't read again. It's a good book but I just found myself thinking countless times that Lily Sanderson, which is the main character, was kind of annoying. Also, it was just too corny for me. I was going to give this book 2 stars, but the setting was really gorgeous and I think Tera really knew how to captivate a realistic image of an underwater Mermaid world. I picked up Forgive My Fins because I'd read Tera Lynn Childs other series. Naturally, I just had to check this one out. Let me just start off saying, I am not a mermaid fan. Not even Disney's the Little Mermaid, could win me over as a child.BUTI did enjoy this book. It was cute in a sort of bubble gum pop sort of way. Not to say the book didn't have its "deep" moments, but it lacked a sort of seriousness or adultness that have dominated a lot of my current reads. And I think that's what I needed.Forgive My Fins contains the same brand of humor I'd detected in Tera Lynn Childs' other works. Only this time, we got fishy puns. They were cheesy, but they kept me amused.Lily was interesting, if a bit blind to the obvious. I never got Brody's appeal at all. From a mermaid's perspective, I guess I could understand how the seemingly nice, water loving guy could catch her eye. I really liked Quince though, even if he reminded me of little kids on the playground with the way he acted towards Lily.I loved watching Lily and Quince interact. It made you wonder if your first impressions of someone were correct or not, and if they were, was possible to see someone differently once you knew them better. Just how much of her initial dislike of Quince was because of him, and how much was because he interfered with her plans?“Some people find beauty in chaos.”
What do You think about Il Bacio Della Sirena (2010)?
I really enjoyed this book. I loved how she wanted to be in both worlds and I loved how the guy who made fun of her was really just trying to capture his attention. But honestly Idon't think any teen age girl would turn down the idea of a mer-mate bond. When they severed their connection I think it went against the whole teen hormonal thing. Also who would stay on land when they could live in the sea? I think that the male lead was more on point with normal teenage feelings than the girl character so i think.It was just a couple things that bother me also the cover was really bland for what it could have been.
