Helpful Score: 1
This book is entertaining and has an interesting premise. A young girl is enthralled by the underwater mermaid show at a small theme park, and grows up to join them. The idea of the mermaid show is basically Seaworld, with humans donning flippers and performing themselves.
It's what I would consider to be a relaxing read. The character have vastly different and interesting experiences. There's a lot of potential for conflict (such as what might occur in a Wally Lamb or Billie Letts novel), but instead of exploring that potential, the conflict just evaporates, and everyone lives more or less happily ever after. Mildly interesting, but not earth-shattering. I was glad I read it, though I wouldn't consider it worthy of a re-read.
