I have really enjoyed the meant to be series and look forward to new publications every year. I loved the diversity of story lines and characters that the unique authors are able to develop. However, while I enjoyed this book, at times I found it forced. It felt as if the connections to "The Little Mermaid" were not as subtle as they had been in previous installments.

Still, with that being said, I really enjoyed this novel. I loved the complexity of both Eric and Ariel and how falling in love wasn't as simple as they thought it should be. It made me reflect on my own parents and the parenting I am doing to my children and how I'd want them to see me when they grow up.

This is definitely a book that needs to be added to your beach bag this summer.

I know, I always say I’m not a romance, lover, and I’m not a big romcom watcher, but man these books get me every time! I don’t know whether it’s the connection to the fairytales and Disney movies, or the creative way that these writers manage to weave those stories and do something that sounds and feels more modern, but I love all three that I’ve read so far. In this a little mermaid retelling, Ariel and her sisters are pop stars , the biggest girl group in the world, but when she wants to break away from her tyrannical father, she runs right into the arms of Eric, an up-and-coming musician. But in order to be with him, she has to be somebody else, or maybe just who she was always meant to be, but who knows if their love will work when they find out who each other are really are. Zoraida Cordova is a favorite author of mine, and so I knew that this story was going to be a favorite. It is a great read, fun and light hearted, but completely engaging and grossing.

Loved the cover and the title! The story was really cute and I enjoyed the characters and their development.

Such a fun and cute read that I really enjoyed. I loved the main characters and the story was super entertaining.
I want to thank NetGalley and the author for providing me with an ARC of this book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A fresh and heartwarming retelling of The Little Mermaid. Love this series and how it brings the Disney Princess stories to the modern day

I usually stick to YA and MG because my goal is to promote diverse lit to teachers, but I will read anything by and everything by Zoraida Cordova! I actually thought this reimagined Latine Little Mermaid rom-com was a YA book because it’s published by Disney. I still think it is more than appropriate for high schoolers who grew up with Ariel plastered on everything. Cordova has added lots of fun little tidbits for true fans to enjoy.
