Back in January, I read Shark Heart by Emily Habeck, and I’m fairly certain that I will be comparing every book I read this year to how I was completely sucked into this book.
While this book contains elements that are fantastical in nature, which is not something I normally gravitate to, the idea of someone slowing morphing into a Great White Shark is weird, and I can definitely get into something weird. I also don’t typically feel called to something that says “A Love Story” on the cover. That is, unless there is something explicitly unique about it, and in this case, there certainly is.
Shark Heart is a story about love, loss, grief, transformation, and what it’s like to be a caregiver. The writing is beautiful. It’s partially written as a play, as Lewis has aspirations of becoming a playwright. It’s also paced very well.
If you haven’t, I encourage you to pick up this book and let it suck you into it.
