Many thanks to NetGalley, Atria Books, and Allie Larkin for the opportunity to read and review this wonderful book - I was just in the mood for a sweet, charming read. And any book with positive messages about the older generation definitely gets 5 stars!
Katie is recently divorced and moves from her home in New York to live with her grandmother in Florida. The only thing that Katie got from the divorce was their dog, Bark. When Katie moves in with Nan, she discovers a different side of Nan than the one she grew up with. Katie learns that Nan was once a mermaid in a traveling exhibition and is in a mermaid exercise class. Nan's friends envelop Katie with love and support, but Katie has crippling anxiety (as does Bark) and can't bring herself to love or be loved for fear of loss, which extends to Luca, an old boyfriend, who comes back into the picture.
I just adored these characters - especially Nan and her friends - but Luca and Mo are so supportive and loving. This is just a sweet book about love, friendship, fears and strength. Highly recommended!
