Shark Heart: A Love Story by Emily Habeck
5.0
maybe love wasn’t an unwieldy accessory in times of peril. maybe it was the key to survival.
we are so lucky to love! we are so lucky to be loved! i cried :’) each part is so completely shaped by loss & grief and yet STILL so fully glowing with hope and gratitude and love. sue me but i couldn’t stop thinking of ellis grey lmao BE EXTRAORDINARY MEREDITH!!!! daughterhood just kills me whew
some more quotes for my heart:
- Wren met a man in a yellow shirt who made her feel that the world was a good place, and the world was a good place because she was someone living in it.
- Her mother, who could drive anything but chose to walk, even in terrible weather, so she could observe the world changing slowly with the seasons. Her mother, who made the most delicious pancakes and baked bread from scratch. Her mother, who could identify every bird by name and call. Her mother, who could grow a garden in an eggshell. Her mother, the kindest person she would ever know. Her mother, her mother, her mother, her mother, her mother. Her mother, an animal, whose eyes were filled with blood.
- “Lewis, he would have loved— Lewis would love—all of this.”
