An asexual verse novel retelling of The Little Mermaid.
Publisher’s Description:
Be careful what you wish for…
She warned of the pain. She did.
But no warning can prepare you.
Nothing can.How could I have known
What it is like on the dry sand?
We just watched.It’s hard, not being able to ask
Questions, though I have learned some speech
With my hands. ˆ_ˆI miss my sisters.
I have made friends here.
I have laughed with them,
Learned with them, played with them.
I love them.She said I would die if he loves someone else.
Will I die? At the beginning I wanted to. It hurts
So much. Life isn’t easy, will never be easy, but…
I don’t want to become sea foam.
