"Once there was a mermaid who dared to love a wolf. Her love for him was so sudden and so fierce that it tore her tail into legs."

Sephora Golding lives in the shadow of her unbelievably beautiful mother. Even though they scrape by in the seedier part of Venice Beach, she's always felt lucky. As a child, she imagined she was a minor but beloved character in her mother's fairy tale. But now, at sixteen, the fairy tale is less Disney and more Grimm. And she wants the story to be her own.

Then she meets Felix, and the fairy tale takes a turn she never imagined.

"Things don't really turn out the way they do in fairy tales. I'm telling you that right up front, so you're not disappointed later."

Sometimes, a story is just a way to hide the unspeakable in plain sight.

Great realistic fiction of a teenage girl growing up in Long Beach. Follows the story of Sephora living in the shadow of her beautiful mother on her journey to self discovery. Artistic and introspective Sephora struggles to make sense of her first sexual experience and a horrifying twist seals her fate and answers the question of who her absent father is. This book is recommended for 14 plus due to sexual content and drugs and alcohol. Mature content. M.C. ( )

There were couple of things that really stood out for me about this book. First, I felt like it had some really insightful things to say about what it's like to be a young woman, and the unfair things we, as a society, do to young women. Second, as an English professor who teaches Oedipus, I think there might be a really interesting connection to make between that play and this book, even though the situations are not all that similar. Our protagonist, of course, does not gouge out her eyeballs in the end, but it might be interesting for students to explore how Oedipus and Sephora were different, and what about their situations were the same.

I also really liked the inclusion of fairy tales - the real ones, gore and grit and all. ( )
