Life can be rough at age 14. Miranda is trying so hard to figure out her place in her family, in life, and what she wants. There are so many changes and expectations placed on her and when a wish ends up with surprising results, she realizes that maybe the life she had wasn't so bad after all.
Miranda is a pretty typical teen. Her emotions are fickle and her loyalties are conflicted, yet fierce. The relationship she has with her parents is realistic, as is her friendship with her best friend. I enjoyed seeing the realizations and growth that took place within her. I also enjoyed watching her find her first love. She has some serious decisions to make, especially for one so young. I could feel her struggle with making those choices. Mermaids are fascinating creatures and I love the way this story is done in an imaginative way to show an option of how humans and mermaids interact and associate.
I love the way it all wrapped up. Some of the twists and turns took me by surprise, but that ending. Oh, how I loved it!
