Voice of the Ocean

The blending of fantasy and contemporary settings felt really unique. I'm curious whether this idea came from a personal fascination or a desire to subvert traditional mermaid stories.

Her struggles with identity and voice resonated deeply, but I wonder if others felt the same sense of growth and empowerment as she found her place.

The romance felt natural but also heightened the stakes. I'm interested in whether the focus on relationship dynamics was planned from the start or developed during writing.
