This is a graphic book, as in comic strip style, which itself is enchanting.
And it's very sweet.
Morgan is struggling with her young teenage years in the wake of her parents' divorce, which has affected her brother too. And then a selkie comes along to complicate things even further.
It's full of metaphors, which I feel is useful for young teenagers coming to terms with being LGBTQIA+. There are a couple of timid kisses but nothing more, so it's very YA friendly. And gives The Little Mermaid vibes.
Here's the thing; everyone's journey is different. And this story is quite clichéd, admittedly.
But once Megan's family and friends know her truth, they're accepting and supportive.
It's a tale of trying to blend in with the crowd as you go through those difficult teenage years. And learning it's OK to be different.
The images are beautiful, the story is bumpy but meaningful, with a HFN (not a HEA).
