In all honesty, I had a really hard time trying to figure out where I stood with this book. I loved the sister relationship and seeing it evolve over time with the character developments, especially having two sisters myself, but some of the dialogue and other moments just made me very annoyed. There’s also a ton of trauma from childhood in their lives that it became difficult to read through certain points. Like every time you thought all the trauma had been brought up the next chapter would be like sike we’re going to throw four more horrible events at you. I really thought I was going into this cute sister book and that was so not the case. I did end up giving it 4/5 stars after the ending but it was a constant back and fourth between 3 and 4 stars for me. If you do decide to read this please know that it is not a happy book despite the light hearted cover.
“The human body is a delicate, amazing creature. It takes almost nothing to completely destroy it, and yet it takes a lot. Most of us manage to stay on the planet, in our bodies, for seventy or eighty years, all of us amassing scars along the way, each one with a story”.
When We Believed in Mermaids
Kit’s sister Josie was killed 15 years ago during a terrorist attack on a train, at least that is what Kit has always believed. While watching the news about a fire in downtown Auckland, a girl gets shown on the screen. A girl who looks uncanny like her sister Josie. It is Josie. Kit finally has a chance to get some closure from those events, by finding her sister and demanding no more lies. If two sisters are about to be reunited, they need to uncover all the secrets they have buried over the years or they may lose everything.
