Chlorine

As an ex (and sometimes current) swimmer, I loved the part of the book about competitions, training, and small insider details like having a friend help you to put on a competition suit. On the other hand, the protagonist's name bothered me all through the book. Seriously, what kind of Chinese speaking mother would name their child 人魚? Sounds like one of those clueless tattoos that people get in non-Chinese speaking countries. Secondly, Ren's personality was quite unbearable. She was incredibly selfish, ungrateful. and rude. If the book wasn't about swimming, and didn't have such an amazing supporting character like Cathy (sweetest girl ever), I would have left it unfinished.
Overall, great read, except for the brat of the main character.
