About the book
Unrequited love is hard enough when you’re a normal teenage girl, but for mermaid Lily Sanderson, there’s no such thing as a simple crush.
Lily has a secret, and it’s not her huge crush on gorgeous swimming god Brody Bennett, who makes her heart beat flipper-fast. Lily’s mermaid identity is a secret that can’t get out, since she’s not just any mermaid—she’s a Thalassinian princess.
When she discovered three years ago that her mother was actually a human, Lily finally realized why she didn’t feel quite at home in Thalassinia, and she’s been going to Seaview High ever since.
Living on land has its problems—like her obnoxious biker-boy neighbor, Quince Fletcher—but it has that one major perk: Brody. The problem is, mermaids aren’t really the casual dating type—when they bond, it’s for life.
When Lily’s attempt to win Brody’s love leads to a case of mistaken identity, she finds out, quick as a tailfin flick, that happily ever after never sails quite as smoothly as you planned.
One boy she wants, one boy she can’t stand. What happens when a magical mistake ties her to the wrong one for life?
- Enemies to Lovers: He’s the obnoxious biker next door. She’s the mermaid princess who can’t stand him. But a magical bond doesn’t care about first impressions.
- Mistaken Identity: Lily’s plan to win the heart of swimming star Brody Bennett goes sideways when her one-and-only mermaid bond accidentally latches onto Quince instead.
- High School Romance: Navigating classes, crushes, and school dances is tough enough without trying to hide a tailfin under your formal dress.
- Forced Proximity: She can’t escape him at school, she can’t escape him at home, and now a magical connection means she can’t even escape him in her head.
