About this listen
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
From Jason June, author of the breakout teen debut novel Jay’s Gay Agenda, comes Out of the Blue, a stand-alone dual POV queer rom-com that asks if love is enough to change everything you’ve grown up believing. Perfect for fans of Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas and Deep Blue by Jennifer Donnelly.
Crest is not excited to be on their Journey: the month-long sojourn on land all teen merfolk must undergo. The rules are simple: Help a human within one moon cycle and return to Pacifica to become an Elder—or fail and remain stuck on land forever. Crest is eager to get their Journey over and done with. Humans are disgusting. They’ve polluted the planet so much that there’s a floating island of trash that’s literally the size of a country.
In Los Angeles with a human body and a new name, Crest meets Sean, a human lifeguard whose boyfriend has recently dumped him. Crest agrees to help Sean make his ex jealous and win him back. But as the two spend more time together, and Crest’s perspective on humans begins to change, they’ll soon be torn between two worlds. And fake dating just might lead to real feelings . . .
This sophomore novel from Jason June dives into the many definitions of the word home and shows how love can help us find the truest versions of ourselves.

Story
Nick Russo has worked his way from a rough Brooklyn neighborhood to a reporting job at one of the city’s biggest newspapers. But the late 1950s are a hostile time for gay men, and Nick knows that he can’t let anyone into his life. He just never counted on meeting someone as impossible to say no to as Andy. Andy Fleming’s newspaper-tycoon father wants him to take over the family business. Andy, though, has no intention of running the paper. He’s barely able to run his life.

Ambrose wakes up on the Coordinated Endeavor with no memory of a launch. There’s more that doesn’t add up: evidence indicates strangers have been on board, the ship’s operating system is voiced by his mother, and his handsome, brooding shipmate has barricaded himself away. But nothing will stop Ambrose from making his mission succeed—not when he’s rescuing his own sister.

Nigel Barrett has spent his whole life preparing for the Culling, a spell-casting competition that determines which of the world’s teenage magicians will be stripped of their powers to preserve magical balance. But nothing could have prepared him to face Ori Olson, a broody rival whose caustic wit cloaks a painful past. From the moment Nigel and Ori meet, sparks fly. Their powers are stronger, more thrilling, the closer they get—not that they can risk becoming attached.

There’s one thing Jay Collier knows for sure - he’s a statistical anomaly as the only out gay kid in his small rural Washington town. While all his friends can’t stop talking about their heterosexual hookups and relationships, Jay can only dream of his own firsts, compiling a romance to-do list of all the things he hopes to one day experience - his Gay Agenda. Then, against all odds, Jay’s family moves to Seattle, and he starts his senior year at a new high school with a thriving LGBTQIA+ community. For the first time ever, Jay feels like he’s found where he truly belongs.

Arek hadn’t thought much about what would happen after he completed the prophecy that said he was destined to save the Kingdom of Ere from its evil ruler. So now that he’s finally managed to (somewhat clumsily) behead the evil king (turns out magical swords yanked from bogs don’t come pre-sharpened), he and his rag-tag group of quest companions are at a bit of a loss for what to do next. As a temporary safeguard, Arek’s best friend and mage, Matt, convinces him to assume the throne until the true heir can be rescued from her tower. Except that she’s dead.

Man o' wars are not jellyfish, and River McIntyre is not happy. River doesn't know why they're unhappy—though perhaps it has something to do with the way they relate more to captive marine life at the local aquarium than to the people around them. That is, until they have a run-in with Indigo "Indy" Waits on the annual class field trip. Face-to-face with an affirmed queer person, River leaps out of the closet and into the shark tank. Literally.

He cannot, however, handle the film company that's thrown his Soho street into chaos. And he definitely can't handle the charismatic American actor Blake Sinclair.

Losing your ability to speak at the age of 17; it's not normal or fair. But trauma has a way of throwing normality out the window. Dani lives anything but a normal life: her sister is married to one of the biggest names in Hollywood, her best friends are rock stars, and she has more love around her than most people experience in a lifetime. But that doesn't change the fact their parents are dead, or that it's her fault. It seems her new normal is being a mute, living on the inside, unable to actually communicate on the outside.

Two coasts separate the teens until Bailey moves in with her dad, who lives in the same California surfing town as her online crush. Faced with doubts (what if he's a creep in real life - or worse?), Bailey doesn't tell Alex she's moved to his hometown. Or that she's landed a job at the local tourist-trap museum. Or that she's being heckled daily by the irritatingly hot museum security guard, Porter Roth - a.k.a. her new arch-nemesis.

He's not like other guys. Liz has seen him around school. It's hard to miss Max - the tall, blond, blue-eyed senior stands out among all the other students at Roswell High. So why is he such a loner? Max is in love with Liz. He loves the way her eyes light up when she laughs and the way her long, black hair moves when she turns her head. Most of all, he loves to imagine what it would be like to kiss her. But he knows he can't get too close. He can't risk her discovering the truth about who he is - or what he is....Because the truth could kill her.

I just wanted an easy summer job.... That didn’t happen. Now, I’m in a living nightmare as I work alongside this monster of a man with mesmerizing emerald eyes that look at me inappropriately every time I see him. To add insult to injury, he has a tan I just want to lick, and a butt worth drooling over every time he purposefully walks by me. But, he's an asshat, and looks are everything. I mean, aren't. LOOKS. ARE. NOT. EVERYTHING. Why do I have to keep reminding myself of this? This is a story of little restraint, too much desire, questionable actions, and the best sex I've ever had.

Reid Jackson - I’m a simple guy. There are only two things I love: my family and playing professional football. I may not understand why people get married, but I’d go anywhere for my brother, even his friend Camille’s wedding. Once I’m there, I realize our Bronx upbringing has left me unprepared for the world of old Southern money. Over 24 hours, I see scandal, threats, and lies. It’s a life I don’t relate to, a place I never want to belong. Even so, when the minister asks if anyone objects, I shock not only myself but also the beautiful bride when I stand up.

So now that he’s finally managed to (somewhat clumsily) behead the evil king (turns out magical swords yanked from bogs don’t come pre-sharpened), he and his rag-tag group of quest companions are at a bit of a loss for what to do next.

Not bad, but not great
I was excited for some mer-rom and the summary of this book sounded fun enough, and I did enjoy it to good degree. Unfortunately, several things caused me to lower my rating more than I'd hoped.
The writing style felt stiff. It made me think of an unnecessarily big red circle on a video telling you where to look, how it over-described things the author wanted you to pay attention to. Dialogue often felt like characters reading a script, and I mean their choice of words more than narration. Additionally, the lengthy inner monologues tremendously slowed down any critical situations that begged for a fast pace.
All of the characters were kind of 'blowholes', as the mer put it. Even in their numerous moments of coming clean and heart-to-heart talks, I generally still came out wondering what the flick they were doing. It didn't help that cheating, fighting cheating by cheating, and trying to get back a cheater, is a whole trope that leaves a sour taste in my mouth, even if they kinda acknowledged the errors of their ways in the end. The romance I wish were a bit more about affection, and a little less hormone-y. There was SO much focus on the physical stuff.
The book had a great rep of LGBTQ+, but Crest having such strong feelings about the gender topic solely because genders don't exist for mer, and bringing it up constantly, seemed more like a message and less a natural part of the story. Following that logic he really could have hated nearly everything on land that doesn't exist in the ocean, which left the focus on genders feeling artificial.
Considering most of the plot decisions, I was a little surprised by the ending, pleasantly so. It didn't raise the book's rating in my eyes, but allowed me to leave this story with less frustration. And despite everything, I don't regret picking this book up, as it did have its moments and can be a relatively enjoyable listen for something light while working on your own stuff.

not it for me
I was incredibly excited for this queer mermaid fantasy / romcom summer read. It sounded like it would hit everything on my wishlist! I'm doing a queer reading challenge for Pride month and a romcom summer reading challenge. I've also challenged myself to read more diverse books this year, so a gender non conforming mermaid was DEF on the top of my list. So I bumped it to the top of my list and started it right away, with an audible credit.
Unfortunately, this book was not for me. There was plenty of LGBTQIA+ rep, with the vast majority of the cast falling somewhere under that umbrella. That was great! However, the merfolk not using gender terms and not having genders was brought up too much for my taste - instead of feeling inclusive, it felt like it was trying too hard and drawing way too much attention to the gender stuff.
I also didn't really feel any chemistry between Crest / Ross and Sean. There's a lot of physical attraction but its played as love, and it just didn't hit right for me. Also the cheating trope comes up more than I would like. I wish I had known ahead of time about that, cuz it's one of my least favorite tropes.
Overall, I thought it was a great concept. But it didn't hit the emotional highs I was looking for and I didn't connect with the characters as much as I hoped I would. I'm sure it's someone else's ideal, though, do hopefully those readers find it!

I just can't get into it
I've tried. Really. I've had this in my collection for months and every time I start it, I just can't get into it. I usually love stories like this but this one just doesn't click for me. That doesn't mean it won't for you, though.

Narrators we're fin-tastic
This started off so strong. I liked the main characters, the premise was interesting and I liked the movie references. However, Sean's obsession with his ex got old real fast, and how everyone fixated on Sean's thighs was weird. I also felt like how Ross acted toward the end of the book didn't really match his character (petty, jealous, possessive).
I love how Sean and Ross/Crest checked in with each other and got consent. The diversity in the book was great. Points for touching on some mental health issues.
The narrators were the highlight of this book. Both did an amazing job bringing the characters to life and they matched each other well, especially for a dual narration. I could listen to André Santana all day!

A perfect love story
I absolutely fell in love with this book just by looking at the cover alone. Finally! A lgbtq+ love store with a confident chubby lead character who’s the fastest swimmer on his team! I can identify with that and that alone made me happy!! Furthermore, the characters were believable, the narrators are fantastic, and the level of detail and what is described is so sublime. This truly was the best book to start my year with!!!

A new love story for those that love water
A great story of finding yourself, while dealing with loss and love. An updated Little Mermaid story with a more realistic twist. Rom Coms beware.

A lovely and cheesy Romance Novel!
I of course mean cheesy in the best way possible! Definitely for a younger audience than myself, but still very engaging and keeps you guessing until the very end! Made me wish my high school experience was different but so blessed for the kids that can live out and proud and express their queer love and joy. Nice that is also wasn’t ALL about their sexualities and more so about their relationships and other issues 💕 definitely recommend

A fresh story that I was happy to find
it was so cool, a wild ride of feelings. Dominic was really crappy, and I finely have found a book in which the hurt ex realizes how crappy the other ex was. I just wish that they could of found a way to let shean and crest could have dated :(
