Girl at the Bottom of the Sea by Michelle Tea

4.0

Picks up right where Mermaid in Chelsea Creek left off to chronicle Sophie Swankowski's journey into the Atlantic Ocean under the guidance of the fierce, benevolent mermaid Syrena. The story of Sophie's present journey weaves into the story of Syrena's long and difficult past, and both are peppered with gorgeous descriptions of otherworldly undersea creatures. This was a surprisingly emotional read, as Sophie continues to explore her powers and their empathetic nature. Like the first book, it challenged me to be more compassionate. This sequel has a colorful host of new characters and a chance to look in on some old ones. A poetic continuation of this sweet fantasy trilogy!
