Shark Heart: A Love Story by Emily Habeck
4.0
I loved this story. Despite the unnatural circumstances, these characters felt real & their tribulations felt incredibly visceral. There’s a spot in my heart for each of them.
A small part of me wishes I’d seen more of Lewis, George, Julia, and maybe even Marcos in the epilogue, but honestly I wouldn’t change a thing. I loved the account of Joy’s life!
It’s hard for me to identify why this in particular this isn’t a 5-star read for me! I think certain imaginative parts, especially regarding the mutations, pulled me out of the story at times. Not by much, but enough to kind of jar me a bit.
Regardless, I think this is a wonderfully speculative read, perfect if you’re looking for something a bit more literary but with a unique, inventive twist!
