Lilysmermaid identity is a secret that cant get out, since shes not just any mermaidshes a Thalassinian princess. When she discovered three years ago that her mother was actually a human, Lily finally realized why she didnt feel quite at home in Thalassinia, and shes been going to Seaview High ever since. Living on land has its problemslike her obnoxious biker-boy neighbor, Quince Fletcherbut it has that one major perk: Brody. The problem is, mermaids arent really the casual dating typewhen they bond, its for life.

When Lilys attempt to win Brodys love leads to a tsunami-sized case of mistaken identity, she finds out, quick as a tailfin flick, that happily ever after never sails quite as smoothly as you planned.
