The story had potential, but the writing fell super flat. About half the dialogue was purely for exposition, and the rest of it was...sub par.

Also I do not believe for a second that Keelin is a “logical sciencey” type. She makes rash, childish decisions, can't make up a decent comeback if her life depends on it, and is kinda helpless, at least until her character arc happens. Which is too late for a nearly 30 year old marine biologist working on a thesis (the subject which she conveniently forgot right after she got to Ireland) to learn that you don't just wander into the ocean without preparation.

I was expecting to relate to her more, and I am disappointed that I didn't (because she's flimsy).

I really wanted to like this story but as it went on it got worse. I didn't hate it though, it's just that the writing is rushed and clunky. The story was cute.
