Resumen del Editor

Inspired by "The Little Mermaid", Coral explores what it means to be human in a world where humanity often seems lost.

Coral has always been different, standing out from her mermaid sisters in a society where blending in is key. She fears she has been afflicted with the dreaded Disease said to be carried by humans - emotions. Her sister had the Disease, and Red Tide took her away. Will it come for Coral next?

Above the sea, Brooke has nothing left to give. Depression and anxiety have left her feeling isolated. Forgotten. The only thing she can rely on is the numbness she finds within the cool and comforting ocean waves. If only she weren’t stuck at a new group-therapy home that promises a second chance at life. But what’s the point of living if her soul is destined to bleed?

Merrick may be San Francisco’s golden boy, but he wants nothing more than to escape his controlling father. When his younger sister’s suicide attempt sends Merrick to his breaking point, escape becomes the only option. If he can find their mom, everything will be made right again - right?

When their worlds collide, all three will do whatever it takes to survive. But what - and who - must they leave behind for life to finally begin?

Praise for Coral:

“This hauntingly beautiful retelling of ‘The Little Mermaid’ is smoothly narrated by Jennifer Jill Araya and Mark Turetsky. The narrators’ sensitive deliveries allow listeners to sympathize with the principals and their unique dissatisfactions in life. Both narrators make this audiobook a gem.” (AudioFile)

A topic we need to share.

Healing…

Coral is a hauntingly beautiful story. Charmingly written, perfectly narrated. As with life, parts of Coral are difficult to get through. But there’s healing here, if you’re ready for it. TW: mental health, depression, suicide, abandonment. If you’ve dealt with any of these issues, grab Coral, and maybe a box of tissues.

Somewhat Predictable

I love fairytales. They are my favorite form of writing. This book was predictable, but still very good. I have already recommended it.

Too depressing

This book was too depressing for me. I had trouble getting through this book. Narrators we’re great it was the story I didn’t care for. Also felt like it jumped all over the place in time.
