I do believe in mermaids! I do, I do!
I don't think it'll hurt a kid to read this book, but I don't think it'll help. I can't say much bad about it-- it's just weird.

Hm, I just grew legs. Whatevs.
Maybe it's like it's supposed to be a tragic love story that's got kind of a hint of poetic irony underneath it? This book upsets me. I do not like this book.

Lovers are doomed to eat each other. Or, you will destroy everything you love.
But in reality, gorillas actually are dangerous.
You would think that sentient prey animals would be more aware of the different species that dwell in their vicinity, which ones are dangerous, and which aren't. Is she also afraid of parrots? Large frogs? Seriously, if there's a gorilla following you all around the freaking world but maybe you should try to figure out why.

Big, scary things just want to be your friend.
