Monstrous Beauty by
Elizabeth Fama:
Fierce, seductive mermaid Syrenka falls in
love with Ezra, a young naturalist. When she abandons her life
underwater for a chance at happiness on land, she is unaware that this
decision comes with horrific and deadly consequences. Almost one hundred
forty years later, seventeen-year-old Hester meets a mysterious
stranger named Ezra and feels overwhelmingly, inexplicably drawn to him.
For generations, love has resulted in death for the women in her
family. Is it an undiagnosed genetic defect . . . or a curse? With
Ezra’s help, Hester investigates her family’s strange, sad history. The
answers she seeks are waiting in the graveyard, the crypt, and at the
bottom of the ocean—but powerful forces will do anything to keep her
from uncovering her connection to Syrenka and to the tragedy of so long
ago.

This may not seem like much to another person, but I'd be willing to give up sitting on the porch watching the rain with a cup of hot chocolate in my lap if it was for someone I loved. Believe me, that's quite a lot- that's one of my favorite things in the entire world.
I would give up my gymnastics if I really thought that was the person I loved. My gymnastics is so important to me and the person I loved would have to be seriously perfect for me. I love my gymnastics so much and it would be a huge sacrifice.
I wouldn't give up anything, If i have to give up something I love, then I don't want love.
R#G selected 1, which equals Noah! I also loved your description <3
Sending your book to the Marysville Library :)
