Review : Chlorine by Jade Song
Chlorine is a fantastic debut book of up and coming writer Jade Song. The story is a modern and twisted coming of age mermaid inspired story about a competitive swimmer, Ren Yu, as she attempts to reach the expectations of her immigrant mother all the while going through puberty and achieve swimming greatness under the brutal coaching of a demanding trainer. It is a story that highlights the pressures of being a teenager that shoulders the expectations of being a prodigy in a very competitive sport who came from an immigrant family fighting for survival in a foreign country.
