Many thanks to NetGalley, Simon & Schuster, Simon Element, Marysue Rucci Books for gifting me a digital ARC of this amazing debut by Emily Habeck - 5 stars!
Wren and Lewis are newlyweds when he begins to turn into a Great White shark. This sort of transformation, resulting from a familial mutation, is common enough that hospitals have different teams to help patients and their families as they transform. Wren is obviously devastated and devotes her life to taking care of Lewis, a task that becomes harder and harder as he transforms. The second half of the book explores Wren's past and that of her mother.
Wow - Emily Habeck is now on my list of people I want to have dinner with. Can you imagine that conversation? To be able to create a book with this premise and have it so full of heart, imagination, and is gorgeously written as well. It's about the transformations we all make as we grow, love, become parents, grieve. It deserves all the hype it is getting - I can't wait to read more from this author but how do you top this? Highly recommended!
