When We Believed in Mermaids

This book took forever, I'm talking 70% of the book before the actual story picked up in my opinion. I was going to give it 2 stars, but the explanation of what you've been waiting for and the ending were good. I really hate that it took so long. The chapters alternate from the characters points of view, which I wasn't expecting. The majority of the book is memories but a lot of them come together in the end.
