Pre-review before I finish the book: I know I'm at least 12 years older than the targeted audience but still...I can and will appreciate good teenagers' dramas. However! The stupidity and immaturity of the Main Character really is not endearing (I kept rolling my eyes at a lot of things said MC had said and done)...I'd been 17 years old once and I don't think teenagers at this age are that bad. thoughts after I'd finished reading:This time I can't even say 'Oh what a great big disappointment!' b...

This young adult fantasy review takes a look at Forgive My Fins by Tera Lynn Childs, a teen romance novel that’s, frankly, corny! In fact, a wave of sadness washes over me when I realize the depths this author has sunk to, drowning her audience in a sea of underwater puns. See, I can do it too!! But seriously, Forgive My Fins feels like it was written as an 11-year-old’s creative writing essay that just got out of hand. If a character is mean, they’re a sea slug; if they’re nice, they’re an ang...

This is one of those stories I read before I started writing reviews, but if I remember correctly, I absolutely loved it, so I really should say a word or two about it. This **Forgive My Fins book review** is long overdue!I'm still not entirely sure why I'm drawn to books about mermaids (I probably blame it on *The Little Mermaid* and how much I adored it as a kid – it’s definitely still stuck in my head!). So, when I picked up **Forgive My Fins by Tera Lynn Childs**, I was just looking for a go...

3.5 - 4 Stars - Also reviewed at: Lady Jayne's Reading Den(Plot points mentioned deal with aspects contained in the book blurb)Is it just guppy love or a love as deep as the ocean? Yes, I have been indoctrinated from all the puns in this book. ^_^ The sea puns and mermaid fish slang were a little jarring, at first, but son of swordfish (as Lily would say), once I got into the flow, I was all bubbly smiley reading them and at times even chuckling. Though I can see how the steady stream of puns co...

Forgive My Fins wasn't for me. It was somehow too… pink, girly, fluffy, and cute. The story itself was very predictable, which only made me want to shake the heroine and make her see what was going on already. Her absolute cluelessness really annoyed me.And seriously, how can you be in love (and I'm referring to the I-love-you-so-much-I-want-to-marry-you-and-spend-the-rest-of-my-life-with-you kind of love here) with someone you rarely talk to and don't really know that well? I mean, having a cru...

I rate this mermaid romance, which I have impatiently waited almost a year for, 3,5 stars altogether. It was really cute, but very predictable. In core it reminded me a lot of Something, Maybe and other regular YA which tell the story of a girl nursing a long time crush on a boy she doesn't really know that well. After 40 pages or so I was a tiny bit bored, but I held on tight - I was reading a mermaid-love-story! - and it got better again. As far as I-am-a-mermaid-here-is-my-story books go, I l...

Looking for a fun, quick, cute, summer read? Look no further! Forgive My Fins has it all and more! Let's just say I'm head over tail for this whimsical mermaid tale! Such a cute story. Forgive My Fins is definitely a novel that will appeal to the upper YA crowd, but at the same time, it's something that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to younger YA and even MG readers. I adored Quincy from the first spitball mention. Not really specifically because of the spitball, but because he seemed like...

So so cute!!!!! I just read the entire series and this was the best one for sure!

Too fluffy for my own liking.It would have been a cute read if it weren't for the clueless heroine. Lily, I get that you're half-mermaid but you've lived with humans for the last 3 years and should have a clue about the opposite sex and relationships at least by then. How could you not know Q liked you? He annoyed you endlessly to get your attention! It was just too predictable for me. No surprises to get me hooked. Only Quince was this book's saving grace. And even Quince won't get me reading t...

I don't think rating out of 5 stars gives enough room for judgment. I prefer the standard school grading scale...Maybe a B-. It was a light, cute, fun book! The cover is obviously stunning. I love the greens and the blues. I'm not sure what she's supposed to be blowing out of her mouth, though. Is there something I missed in the book?Anyway, we are presented with Lily Sanderson: half-mermaid, half-human. She's nothing spectacular with her blonde hair (yay!), pale-skin, and freckles. And she's go...
