Oh my god. This book is all the stars. It was so beautiful. First of all it has so many amazing and relatable quotes. It has marvelous and relatable characters. Even though the story is about her husband turning into a shark, the emotions Wren and Lewis experience are very similar to families dealing with any kind of illness that alters a person and requires another to take on the caretaker role. I think if you look at it from that angle the story becomes even more.

The number of emotions this book made me feel. I cannot explain how much I cried. Wren was way to relatable for me and it made it so much harder. I loved the way the author wrote all the characters. What I think I adored most about this story was how vastly different Angela and Wren’s stories were. Yet, the underlying theme of unconditional love was so beautiful.

I don’t want to give too much away so I’m trying to stay super vague about things, because I feel like this is one of those books you have to go into without any idea of what’s coming. It just makes the experience more authentic and touching. I honestly don’t know who had the more emotional story Wren or Angela. They both have this way of moving you individually and making you reflect on things.

I think seeing Angela go from this naive fifteen year old girl to this mother who loved her daughter with everything she had was heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. Wren is dealing with losing a husband she really only just got. She’s dealing with being his caretaker while he becomes something else entirely. Each story is something that you can relate to on some level.

And all of this says nothing about the amazing way the story was written. It was beautiful. I loved every second of it. It’s one of those stories that is super surprising. I think it might just be one of my favorite reads this year. It’s most definitely a marvelous. I really highly recommend this book.
