"Ren Yu is a swimmer. Her daily life starts and ends with the pool. Her teammates are her only friends. Her coach, her guiding light. If she swims well enough, she will be scouted, get a scholarship, go to a good school. Her parents will love her. Her coach will be kind to her. She will have a good life. But these are human concerns. These are the concerns of those confined to land, those with legs. Ren grew up on stories of creatures of the deep, of the oceans and the rivers. Ones that called sailors to their doom. Ones that dragged them down and drowned them. Ones that feasted on their flesh. Ones of the creature that she's always longed to become: mermaid. Ren aches to be in the water. She dreams of the scent of chlorine, the feel of it on her skin. And she will do anything she can to make a life for herself where she can be free. No matter the pain. No matter what anyone else thinks. No matter how much blood she has to spill"--Book jacket flap.

horror by an unhinged narrator submitted by jlopez2 on June 30, 2024, 6:36pm the first chapter of this book hints at the central horror of the book. this left me on edge the whole book. the narrator lays out her reasonings so rationally you are horrified at her control and her lack of awareness as she pushes her body to the limit for her love of water.
- read this if you were a very dedicated swimmer when you were young
