"I SMACK into him as if shoved from behind."
"THE SIBLINGS lean on their elbows against the rail, watch-ing the girls they just met peel T-shirts off their bikinis and wade into the water with the surfboard floating between them."
"I SPLASH enough water in Chloe's face to put out a small house fire."
"TOO LATE."
"DAWN BREAKS unwelcome and hazy against the bay win-dows of the living room."
"HE PULLS into the driveway of the not-so-modest house he asked Rachel not to buy."
"I PICK up the compact and smear porcelain all over my face."
"THE FINAL bell rings and students leak from every crevice of the redbrick building."
"WE PULL into his cobblestoned driveway, and I have to lean back in the seat to take in the whole thing."

"OFFICER DOWNING pulls into the driveway next to Mom's car."
"FRIDAY NIGHT is finally here."
"I'M NOT sure if all Syrena have bulletproof endurance or if Galen is particularly blessed with it."
"CAREFUL NOT to wake her, Galen brushes Emma's hair from her face, her cheeks pink from the glow of sunrise."

I was excited for this book to come out but now I'm just ecstatic.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I loved this book and can't wait to read it again as a finished book. I would highly recommend this one especially if you love anything to do with mermaids. The characters are surprising and there's a great blend of humor and seriousness.
