This would be perfect to read sitting under an umbrella, with a drink in hand and relaxing on the beach. Riptides had me in a different world, as if I was reading a mermaid's tale in the form of poetry. And being caught in the waves of her magic was only the beginning. Here is a small piece of it:

When life
throws
the unimaginable
at you and you're
in an unbreakable
tide.

Don't struggle
against it.

It's scary as
hell
but if you
stay calm,
you'll be able
to break
the vicious cycle,
and swim towards
better things
meant for you.
