I almost DNFed at 60% but I am happy I saw it through. When the perspective switched to Wren’s mother I lost interest at first but then I pulled together again. I wish the timeline was more linear and we got more of Wren and Louis’ relationship before his diagnosis cause I feel I wasn’t invested in their love story enough. Interesting concept tho.

A gorgeous book about love and loss and hope with an unexpected premise that immediately drew me in. I love the people in this book. I felt each loss deeply.

Would you still love me if I was a worm???

If it makes me cry, 5⭐️ but also a meditation on grief, how people change, and theater teachers.

4.0

 It's almost feels as if a novel was written by Wes Anderson. Quirky, some unique formatting, and thoughtfully written. The story alternates timelines so there is a lot of back-and-forth. I wasn't a fan of the ending, but I loved everything else about the story.

Wren's husband is diagnosed with a mutation that turns him into a great white shark. In this alternate world, people can have genetic illnesses that turn them into various animals. Wren and Lewis have to accept that their lives will change. Soon, Lewis won't be able to communicate or remember Wren. This is a story of adapting and moving on.
