Before I took pen to paper, I was an actress. I attended a local university majoring in theatre and spent a summer in London at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts where I learned about the “Old Bard” from amazingly talented teachers.When I returned from London, I relocated to Chicago where I lived for five years.

This book is about teen love.

At some point, I would have thought it was a cute story, but when I read it, I kind of skimmed through it. So it didn't work out for me.

What to say about this. I have read the entire Vampire Kisses, the entire Full Moon trilogy and all of the manga books Blood Relatives and Graveyard Games. I have enjoyed it all. This one was comparatively alright but disappointed me somewhat based on the other stories this author had published and that I have read. I have always loved mermaids from the time I was small. This story doesn't feel very original to me. It doesn't stand out. It's not a bad story and I'm not disappointed I read this, ...

This book is a short and cute read. Fun for a bit of relaxation but you may be disappointed if you’re looking to throw yourself into the world of the story instead of just being an onlooker for this one. It’s a bit shallow in that way. Overall, a good read for a younger audience or a gentle read for a quick bubbly mermaid story.

It's dumb, it's chock full of cliches, there's a few jokes that feel a bit out of place reading it in 2018...and despite that, I love it.It knows exactly what it is. It makes fun of teen comedies, mermaid cliches, and everything in between. The writing is snappy and the characters are constantly quipping. Spencer is really dense at times, but that's kinda part of the fun. Lilly is comically naive. It's essentially a teenaged version of the movie Splash, with more modern teen cliches thrown in an...

As much as I love and can handle Ellen's writing and silliness. This was way too cringy for me. It felt so cartoony and targeted for a much younger audience.

It’s the sign of a true retelling fanatic when you pull up a book like Teenage Mermaid that you haven’t read for over ten years just because you’re curious how it holds up. It’s probably the sign of a fanatic that I even still have this book after long outgrowing it. I blame nostalgia. It came from the good old elementary school Scholastic days, when shiny new paperbacks were delivered to you at the end of a class day in a sealed plastic bag; those days were kind of magical. Or it could just be ...

This was so cute! I wish there was more! It was such a quick and easy read. I totally recommend it if you want a quick and easy mermaid read. It's definitely for a younger audience since both of the main characters are 15. If you can get past that then this is such a cute read.

I absolutly loved this book.Everthing about it.Really.Even though it's on the short side,it's worth reading.I re-read it so many times.I just love re-reading the story because you see the whole story unfold.Again and again.It doesn't get old for me.I read it as a paperback,despiet the what the edition says.It's such an old book for me.The cover is a little ripped,and many pages are bookmarked.For me,those are signs of a loved book.Two other signs is re-reading it over and over and wanting to buy...

This is one of those books that I just stumbled upon at my local library. Schreiber is an author that I have been meaning to read, but with my TBR pile at least a mile long, her books have a bad tendency to get constantly pushed back in the pile. However, I was feeling I was in the mood for a fairy tale so I finally decided to give this book a try.Teenage Mermaid is pretty much what I thought it would be. The plot focuses on Waterlilly (the mermaid) and Spencer (the Earthee) who happen to meet w...
