About the book

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! From Jason June, author of the breakout teen debut novel Jay’s Gay Agenda, comes Out of the Blue, a stand-alone dual POV queer rom-com that asks if love is enough to change everything you’ve grown up believing. Perfect for fans of Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas and Deep Blue by Jennifer Donnelly. Crest is not excited to be on their Journey: the month-long sojourn on land all teen merfolk must undergo. The rules are simple: Help a human within one moon cycle and return to Pacifica to become an Elder—or fail and remain stuck on land forever. Crest is eager to get their Journey over and done with. Humans are disgusting. They’ve polluted the planet so much that there’s a floating island of trash that’s literally the size of a country.In Los Angeles with a human body and a new name, Crest meets Sean, a human lifeguard whose boyfriend has recently dumped him. Crest agrees to help Sean make his ex jealous and win him back. But as the two spend more time together, and Crest’s perspective on humans begins to change, they’ll soon be torn between two worlds. And fake dating just might lead to real feelings . . .This sophomore novel from Jason June dives into the many definitions of the word home and shows how love can help us find the truest versions of ourselves.

    "I realize that the Blue might not be able to give me everything i need. Because I need this. Because I need Sean." 🌊

    This book was right up my alley and oh boy, it did not disappoint! 😍 Hooked me from the beginning. Their love story is so cute and i was gushing and giggling, kicking my feet. 🤭 You won't believe how many puns about fish and the sea can be made! 🐟 I loved both characters, they did feel fleshed out and sometimes some things were glossed over - f.e. how Crest learned certain things but tbh i didn't care. It was not the focus for me. All in all i ate it up heheh 🤭 If you like: Merpeople 🧜 Queer Love 🌈 Fake Dating 🕵 Highschool 🏫 Swim Meets 🏊 Making Movies 📹 Lighthearted Romcoms 💞 This one is for you! 5/5 🌟 SPOILERS AHEAD! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! TW: Depression When i say lighthearted i truly think it is, even if the topic depression is being talked about. And tbh i sobbed through the end. Talking about the ending: Honestly i do love that they didn't stay together but something in me wished it happened? Idk, maybe i need to write a fanfic haha. Also Kavya and Miguel getting together? I didn't expect it at all but okay, i'll take it.

    Ich habe das Buch auf Englisch gehört und finde non-binäre Personen auf englisch grundsätzlich leichter zu benennen als auf deutsch. Grundsätzlich finde ich eine Fabelperson als non-binäre Person, die die Menschenwelt kennenlernt sehr spannend. Mir persönlich ist das Meervolk sehr sympathisch und ich kann verstehen warum das Meervolk über Menschen nur schlechtes denkt. Die Tradition, dass das Meerfolk einen Monat an Land verbringen um zu helfen finde ich sehr spannend, aber auch etwas überheblich. Die Selbstfindungsreise von Sean fand ich sehr schön mitzuerleben. Ich fand es sehr relatable, dass er sich erstmal damit sehr spannend und grundsätzlich sehr schön zu lesen. muss, wer er allein ist. Zudem finde ich einen Chubby-Charakter als Sportcharakter auch sehr erfrischend und repräsentativ sehr gut. Insgesamt fand ich die Mischung aus Fantasy-Sport-Romance und Coming of Age sehr spannend.

    Das war total mein Fall. Die Protagonisten waren super liebenswert und ich hab dermaßen mit den beiden mitgefiebert! Dieses Buch war einfach etwas ganz besonderes und ich habe jede Seite genossen. Eine tolle, queere Liebesgeschichte für den Sommer.
