You know it’s going to be a good book when it makes you tear up in the first 2 pages. I would’ve never expected to fall in love with a story about a man turning into a shark but here I am! What a creative, gut-wrenching, thoughtful, and intricate story that manages to evoke so many heavy feelings in such a careful way. The author takes some creative liberties with form throughout that are somehow cohesive and help the story come together. This one is the definition of “trust the process.”
