Meg by Steve Alten
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m always in for an out-to-sea thriller, especially if sharks are in the mix. This one was a mixed bag for me but I kind-of went into it having read several reviews ahead of time. I love the theory of the Meg still existing out there. The character build up started easy enough but I found myself having to ask myself “who was this person?” often as I got near the end and so many characters came together. The back and forth in the last few chapters didn’t bother me as much as it seems to have bothered other readers. All that said, it was a good read and I’m about to dive right in to the next in the series.
