I LOVED this story! The way the author used her words to describe the environment, the characters' emotions, the atmosphere, the background of the characters, it just really helped me imagine and see the story in my head as I read. The story of a drowned girl who has regained consciousness and with two families trying to claim her as their own makes this story hauntingly beautiful and suspenseful with a touch of fairytale. While there are different things going on with each character, the author pulls it all together int he end that leaves me feeling satisfied. I also LOVE the cover! It's what got my attention in the first place and then the excerpt. I thank the author and Bookish for giving me an ARC of this great story.
