The first novel I read in the „weird girl fiction genre“ & it did not disappoint. Jade Songs writing style draw me in with the first page & I loved it until the end.
I never experienced how it feels to grow up under the pressure of competitive sports but I imagine it pretty much how it was described in the book. 
I really resonated with how Ren is experiencing her obsession over mermaids since being a young girl & also the horror of growing up while constantly having your body judged & sexualized. 
The dynamic of the homoerotic friendship also seemed familiar & well written.
