Shark Heart: A Love Story by Emily Habeck
5.0
I cried so many times.
Beautifully, heartbreakingly and absurdly human. With allegorical transmogrification in her perspective, Habeck expertly crafts a story that tells of the complexities and profundity—and certainly the absurdities—that comprise the human experience. With multi-layered themes of love and loss (spousal, mother-daughter, father-daughter, sibling, chosen family, friendship), Habeck takes the reader on a journey through the unexpected poetry of life.
Other themes include: mental health, fear, parenthood, grief, illness, change, time, relationships, letting go, joy, hope, art, perspective, possibility...
Also, the ending...! So beautiful. So perfect.
