I just have to say that this book fulfilled all my The Little Mermaid fantasies I've ever had. The descriptions of Thalassinia were beautiful and detailed and made me feel like I was actually there. I loved Lily's sense of humor, her toughness, and also her tenderness. She felt like a real teen girl to me with an authentic voice that really helped drive the novel. Oh boy, and Quince *squeal* LOVE! As a reader you can totally tell he's been in love with Lily forever and you are just on your toes waiting for her to realize it! I thought the progression of their relationship was very nicely and realistically paced (well as much as it can after Quince finds out the truth!). Forgive My Fins was such a fun, lighthearted paranormal read and I literally couldn't put it down (stayed up until 6am!). Already super excited to read the next book, Fins are Forever!

Not that great, but not too awful either. Worth a read because it's not very long, but don't hold it above priority on your reading lists. I found the beginning very promising, but the plot radically dwindled half way through.

This book is full of romance. So much it's overpowering. So much it gets a bit annoying. It goes back and forth between sea and land, and yet there is next to no adventure at all. I hate the main character (sorry, she annoys me), but the guy pining over her for very wishy-washy reasons is cool. I like him. Well, darn it all, because even though the book has a bad plot, I can't help but like it. I blame it on my teenaged hormones thirsty for any sort of romance, no matter how pathetic and dragged out it is. Yes, I hate this book. Yes, I like this book. I hate myself for liking it.

This was an Excellent Book. Refreshing ideas, watery concepts but soooo good. I was thrilled I came across it, and just the cover alone let me know that this was going to be something new. Well Well worth the few hours to read!

“Oh, Lily," He says shaking his head. "I know about love. About wanting and dreaming and wishing with every part of your soul. I know enough to reconize the parts that are real and teh parts that are only in my fantasy." Ge turns his head slightly to face me, and I find myself saying,"L-like what?" "Like when she cries and my heart tears in to little shreds, and all I can think of is making her forget the source of her sadness." His face is blank, emotionless. his words -and the underlying emotion bombarding me through the bond- more than make up for it. "That's real." my voice is barely a whisper when I ask, "And fantasy?" "Believing she'll ever feel the same way.”

"Wow," I gasp. "That was..." I can't find the words. He can. "Incredible." My eyes pop open and I am instantly alert. That didn't sound like Brody's voice. That sounded more like-- "Bet Benson could never kiss you like that."
