the most specific detail i remember is that it had a bittersweet ending, with the girl either drowning herself or dissipating into the water in order to return home. it might have been filed as a young adult story but i'm not sure. i think she was on the younger side, and that the two developed a familial or platonic relationship rather than a romantic one. i'm also pretty sure there was a man she became close to and lived with after washing up on the shore, but it's been so long since i read it that i can only remember vague details. i want to say she was a mermaid, but she might have just been some kind of nymph stuck in a physical body. When i was in fifth or sixth grade, i found a fiction book in my school library about a girl from the ocean who wanted to return to the sea but couldn't.
