Chapter One: The Move

Moving is hard. Moving any distance is. I find it hard just to get out of bed in the morning but another whole country? That's much more difficult.

Especially when you have to leave behind your dead boyfriend.

My name is Alexandra Grey. I'm the new girl with the weird English accent drowning in an American high school with a blonde messy bun peppered with sea salt and a smattering of freckles.

When I first found out we were moving from soggy England to sunny California, I had no idea what to expect.

Least of all did I think I'd become a mermaid.

Lucky me.
