This sounded really interesting, but found it to be a little too over-the-top for my enjoyment. The art style isn't my favorite; I prefer a more polished look. While I was usually interested in what was happening in the story, I kept getting taken out of the flow of reading by how the characters spoke. They all sounded like caricatures trying to be badass.

diverse graphic novel (LGBTQAI+ interest, especially nonbinary genders - contains drinking, topless nudity)
fun story featuring characters with diverse skin colors and body types, with lovely illustrations.

I am not sure what I was expecting from these illustrations because I have read other of Kat Leyh books, but this one is definitely for adults. The mermaids don't cover much up, which is fine, it doesn't take away from the story, I just think people should be aware that this is not for younger graphic novel readers. It is a good story about friendship and about being there for the ones closest to you.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC!

This was a cute story about friendship. Never leaving someone behind. Accept everyone no matter who they are or what they are. I definitely enjoyed this story. I loved the illustration and the characters.
