Shark Heart is one of the most tender and unusual books I have ever read. Wren and Lewis are only beginning to settle into their married life when Lewis is told that he is rapidly turning into a literal great white shark. This book blurs the line between fiction, romance, and magical realism. It’s a story of love as persistence through uncertainty. Its short chapters read like the script for a play. Shark Heart is going to be one of my favorites for a long time.
