It is far from horror. Ren is a girl who loves water to a mentally ill degree and the story is what comes with said mental illness. I get the underlying concept of the story but it is one of those books that are filled with “all men are monsters.” I get it in the concept of Ren's POV but doesn't mean that the constant wasn't repetitive. I think I would have rounded up to a 3 if the ending had been done a bit better. Nothing scares me more than mentally ill people killing other mentally ill people in the sake of helping. like we all know damn well she wasn't a mermaid and the last line of the book was her swimming away... which meant she drowned but it was done so poorly. And I couldn't bring myself to fully care about Ren when she was treating Cathy like crap. but I guess you see that toxic pairing in movies and books. Iunno this book just wasn't it for me. A majority of the book was just sad and the horror part was an oh no but not an OH NO. The one good thing that was shown in this book was the process of the mind when trauma happens over and over again, especially when it is intense. That part I am sad and angry with Ren and Cathy.
