Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

A sweet sapphic kraken romance set in the Florida Keys that flips the Little Mermaid script — the grumpy pool manager rescues the sunshine sea monster and falls for her tentacles and all. Cozy vibes with surprisingly steamy scenes.
