I picked up this book, partly because of the queer/BIPOC representation, and partly because I love the Golden Age of Sail (and mermaids!) I'd previously read Maggie Tokuda-Hall's short story "Shark Week" in Mermaids Never Drown, so it was great to read a full-length novel by the same author.

I wish this book and its series had existed back then.
I think Socks' experience of thinking their friend won't want them if they have another friend is so relatable, and the portrayal of depression is so accurate. It's such a gentle, uplifting book.
We wanted to create a space where anyone who is feeling sad or alone could come and feel ... well, not so alone. Welcome ... to the Sad Ghost Club!'
