'A few weeks after the wedding, Lewis noticed something odd. The bridge of his nose was no longer a triangle of bone but, rather, soft cartilage.'

A literary love story with body horror. The transformation of Lewis from human to shark is fascinating!! It left me wanting a book about the other human/animal mutations mentioned. (Lewis's experience isn't singular). This book is so beautiful and so captivating! One of my favorites of the year.

'The main ingredient in transformation was not magic. It was pain.'
