Review # 1 was written on 2017-03-01 00:00:00 Eric Kessler "They were beautiful shells, as white as the surf in the sea. When you held one up to your ear you could hear the sound of your best friend talking to you, even if she was a thousand miles away." ― Alice Hoffman, Aquamarine I can't believe I have not reviewed this yet! This is really best read bu children and young adults but any age can enjoy it. I love the concept of two best friends who find a mermaid outside and befriend her. Sometimes one just needs to jump into a book that is at once whimsical and fun. That is exactly what Aquamarine is and man did I enjoy it. I also have always had a fascination with the sea and yeah, mermaids are pretty interesting as well. Even though this is a young adult book, Cmon adults! Treat yourselves! Plus after all the dark and disturbing mysteries and literary fiction I read, I like a fun sweet ethereal book like this. Aquamarine is at once an homage to the ocean, to what and who live in said ocean and to the power of friendship and its bonds. I'd really recommend it. Oh and FYI..this lovely little story is also a movie and works just as well on screen so if you are ever flicking around TV stations and find it one night..it's a pretty fun movie as well. Four stars.

I loved Aquamarine and wanted to be a mermaid with those adorable starfish earrings... do you remember Jojo? The singer? And Emma Roberts? Sara Paxton was gorgeous, always reminded me of Rory Gilmore! Such a cute movie, must get the book! I'll just go watch the movie right now!
