AndrĂ© Santana and Neo Cihi narrate this dual-perspective queer fantasy romance. Crest is a “mer” who is heading off on their month-long journey. The purpose is to experience life as a human before deciding whether to remain on land or return to the sea to begin adulthood as a mer. When they arrive on land, in a human body with a new human name, Crest meets a human lifeguard named Sean. Cihi voices Crest with an overly dramatic, slightly whiny attitude that fits their personality and provides contrast to Santana’s calmer, deeper-toned portrayal of Sean. As the relationship between Sean and Crest grows, the nonbinary mer’s plan to get through their month on land as quickly as possible begins to change, and both Crest and Sean must decide what their futures hold.
