Synopsis

To most mermaids, salt has a capital S, but Eadie is not your average siren."If being a siren means I’ll eventually have to leave everyone who ever meant anything to me, then I don’t want it."I’m the youngest of a set of triplets, and I share little in common with my sisters. Larimar and Lazuli don’t seem bothered by the fact that they’re destined to live their semi-immortal lives controlled by their salt cycle. But after it took Mom, I flipped the ocean a set of double-birds. The salt can’t have me. My life is mine. My voice is mine. My fins and legs are both mine—and I prefer the latter.I try to live as a normal highschool senior, but I have my own personal bully who makes my life hell. I have a serious crush on Seth Foster, who doesn't seem to know I exist, and a reputation as a socially awkward science whiz. When I find a mermaid in salt-flush trapped inside a wreck, she is proof that the salt is a hateful master, with no compassion for those whose lives it ruins, whose memories and identities it erases. Can the weakest link in the Jackson chain figure out a way to free her when my hard-earned front as a normal teenager starts to unravel.Or have I picked a fight I cannot win?Note: best enjoyed after listening to the series prequel, Cobalt.Return to the siren realm of A.L. Knorr with Pretty Little Mermaids, which expands the lore established in Born of Water, Mermaid’s Return and The Siren’s Curse, but is set before the events of the latter. Aquamarine is a true YA contemporary fantasy, complete with high school angst, a prom, bullies, a sweet romance, team sports drama and family drama, all intertwined with the author's beloved mermaid mythology.

Goodreads review by Virginia on March 13, 2023

Solid message for teens. Snobbish mermaid. Years and years ago I had the paperback. The idea of a mermaid story always intrigued me but never enough to get past the first page. I'd watched the movie a few times and really enjoyed that. Fast forward about twenty years and I see a 99-cent eBook sale......more
