Out of the Blue

I absolutely love the book. I didn't have to push myself to read it and I was so sad that it came to an end. A very lovely and heartwarming story for young adults and teenagers. Definitely recommend

Ich hatte sehr viel Spaß beim Lesen dieses Buches! Die Storyline hat mir sehr gut gefallen und gerade die representation mach das Buch für mich aus, da die zwei Main Characters so verschieden sind, aber beide so loveable. Really enjoyed this one!! :)

“Out of the blue” by Jason June surprised me. Crest is meerfolk, which means they´ll have to help a human. Eww. But they soon discover Humans aren´t that bad, at least one of them isn´t.

It’s a cute YA romance with mervolk that comes with all the anticipated problems. The fantastic elements lack consistency, the little information we do have is overexplained, more complex themes are kept superficial because it would be too much for the YA genre and the occasional cringe cannot be avoided. But there are some very cute scenes between the two main characters. I love the queer rep and the body positivity. Sean became one of my favorite characters and I want everybody to protect him at all cost. Unfortunately I can’t say the same for Ross who was a rather irritating person. And even though the story was cute, there were a few plot points I didn’t like (what’s up with the cheating?) and I’m very unsatisfied with the ending. It was okay but I expected more.
