- Wren & Lewis are in their first (and last) year of marriage.
- The world is the same as ours, except people can inherit genetic mutations where they change from human to animal. Shortly after getting married, Lewis receives a rare diagnosis. He will retain most of his consciousness, memories, and intellect, but his physical body will gradually turn into a great white shark.
- Wren’s mother, Angela, similarly experienced an animal mutation diagnosis, and her story is woven throughout as well.
- A beautifully written book. It is hard to describe, but it truly is art.
- The writing structure is written different than other books I’ve read, but in a really good way. I thought it was quite clever to include play/scene sections throughout the book.
- Frankly, I am shocked I ended up loving this book. I thought it wouldn’t be for me, but it ended up being one of the most unique, oddly beautiful books I’ve ever read.
- As far out as the book may sound, it is an emotional ride, and it explores being a caretaker, finding peace, transformation, family, love, loss, grief, & how relationships grow and change.
- I am shocked this is Habeck’s debut novel, as it is the best writing I’ve ever read. I was so moved by her writing.
- What an imaginative, unique plot.

What an unexpected delight of a novel! I am not usually one for judging a book by its cover, but when I first joined Netgalley I spotted this one and could not resist it. Very glad to report that the contents match the stunning cover! 🦈🌺
