Summary:
Lily may look like a run-of-the-mill high-school student, but she is actually the mermaid heir to the throne of the ocean kingdom of Thalassinia. Half human, Lily is able to maintain her bipeds in order to snag a human beau, who will then turn into a merman to rule by her side with a single kiss. She has her fins set on champion swimmer Brody. But when Lily accidentally busses bad-boy biker Quince instead, she moves heaven and sea in an attempt to swim off into the sunset with her first crush as planned. But it isn't long before the scales fall from her eyes, and she realizes which boy truly loves her, tail and all.

Forgive My Fins was a....an interesting read. In a good way. I've never really been a big fan of mermaids, but this exceeded my expectations. It was everything you'd expect from a mermaid novel, fluffy, cute and sweet, and...different. I liked Forgive My Fins, I'd been craving reading a fluffy romance for a while now, and this hit the spot. It was definitly different then all the other books on my shelf, and I'm glad it was.
I loved the characters, I fell in love with Quince. He was sooo sweet, it was so romantic how he loved her for so long and she hated him. I was rooting for him the whole way. Lily was interesting, I was annoyed with her a lot that she couldn't see through Brody, and actually see Quince.
My only problem with the book was the cat, I can't remember her name....but she loved Lily. Lily's a mermaid, she lives in the water, shouldn't the cat hate her..? Besides that one little quirk, I loved this book. The writing was great, the characters well developed, and the ending was great as well. I'd definitly recommend this book if you're looking for a light, fluffy and quick read.
