I was surprised at how much I liked this one. I thought the verse novel aspect would annoy me, but I got used to it really quickly. The main character's thoughts and personality really came through in the verse novel aspect, as well as the little emoticons that Cooper uses. This was a great queer comfort read for me.  

It was cool to see someone take the romantic love-centric fairytale of the Little Mermaid and to examine it from an aromantic and asexual lens instead. My only nitpick is that the main character does act a little bit childlike, which I guess comes with doing a Little Mermaid retelling. Also, this is a good example of how to write a non-human character who happens to be a-spec rather than a character who is a-spec because they are non-human.
