Huh...I never would have guessed this was a book by Jodi Picoult. Is it any good?

But if you really want to check it out anyway, it's very short. Heavy on nonsense, and big on confusion with no real understanding of what's going on and why. Like..maybe you have 5 different ideas for a story you never used, and crammed them all into one. Or like..maybe you played mad libs and made a short story out of it. (less)

Is this all there is to the Mermaid.? What made the pool act the way it did? Was it all in the mind? What did I miss?
Rashmi Binu I feel the pool was more metaphorical rather than scientific..

Jodi- I loved this story. The pool had so many different implications and interpretations. I wondered was there any particular lore about water that affected your ideas of the spiritual perhaps even mystical powers of the water? I also wanted to know will be writing more Kindle in Motion books? I loved this one, but then I've enjoyed most of your books.
Rashmi Binu I loved it too.. The story has many layers.. Open to interpretation. If you read my review.. You can see what resonated with me, while i read it.
