As a unique combination of half mermaid and half human, Fred is asked to testify as the mermaids hold a tribunal to determine whether or not they should out themselves to the land dwellers without fins. A merman prince who has the hots for Fred is in attendance, as is her human love interest and fellow aquarium worker Thomas. Fred struggles to decide who is right for her, while she also struggles to keep the guy's attention off of the hundreds of other topless mermaids attending the meeting.

Swimming Without a Net is a light and funny book which could be finished in one sitting. The writing is snarky and funny, and contains some LOL one-liners. I enjoyed it more than the first in the series, and am looking forward to the third installment.
