Description:

Yixing's banal life is shaken, literally, by a 7.0 quake and the resulting aftermath. But great big waves and collapsed buildings aren't the only things disaster brings to this coastal town. While assisting with the oil spill relief efforts, Yixing and his friends find a strange girl caught in the muck and debris, and they soon discover that they've rescued a nameless mermaid with some trouble of her own. "Jinyu" has but a year to find her prince, get him to fall in love with her, and break her spell. Between dodging pernicious scientists and learning to walk on legs she's going to need Yixing's help if she doesn't want to turn to foam.

My Thoughts: I actually I think read this when it first came out but then I think it was drafted and I just found it again by pure luck and chance. I am currently re-reading it and falling in love with it all over again. It's a fairly light-hearted story with some darker undertones. I really adore the way the author writes her characters in particular. I also admire her use of dialogue and the clever way she reimagined the little mermaid in a sense. It's incredibly well written and well
