I have mixed feelings about The Mermaid from Jeju.

The storyline was compelling, but I didn't connect to the characters at all. There were so many would-be heartbreaking moments, but I didn't feel anything. I'm usually not a fan of first-person narration, but I think that would have been a better fit for the story.

I added it to our library's eBook collection because it was an enjoyable read. It just wasn't memorable, which is disappointing because it had the potential to be.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
