One sentence synopsis... Growing up fatherless in a dreary, alcoholic, coastal town a young woman who believes she's a mermaid falls hopelessly in love with a returning Iraq war veteran. .

Read it if you like... stories that flirt with magic realism, unreliable narrators, or complex female characters (think Ottessa Moshfegh “heroines”). .

Dream casting... Jamie Bell as the good-hearted but traumatized Jude and Thomasin McKenzie as the unnamed narrator.
