#Metamorphosis

I feel like this is an allegory for illnesses, like cancer and dementia. Tomes where people have to watch their loved ones change, suffer, and inevitably leave. It‘s heartbreaking. The story is beautifully written, and while sad, also hopeful and with love.

I‘m not okay. This one is in the running for my best book of the year. The premise is really messed up, but the love and grief, it‘s all so beautiful. I couldn‘t understand how it could possibly work. But it‘s such a good story. Such a human story. “Lewis tattooed her with beautiful poetry in a place she would never see but somehow read every second.” #AuldLangSpine @DebinHawaii I never would have picked this up otherwise. @monalyisha

monalyisha Agree wholeheartedly! 3mo
AmyG I would tell people about this book and it sounded a bit nuts. But it worked-totally. Such a beautiful story. 3mo
DebinHawaii I‘m so glad you enjoyed it! It does feel a little odd when you are recommending it as @AmyG mentioned, but it‘s such a strange & beautiful story. 3mo

“As Lewis held Wren's hands, he thought of her kindness, her intelligence, her inner beauty. Yet, just as he married these known qualities, he also married her vast unknowns. And she, his.”

A fantasy of love, transformation, loss, and eternity.

The premise is wild—a man turning into a shark—but this story is tender, emotional, and beautifully written. The dialogues between Wren and Lewis really stayed with me: funny, raw, and full of love. Emily Habeck blends the surreal with the human in a way that broke my heart and healed it, all at once!

Thank you so much for sending me this wonderful book @Yuki_Onna 💝

Jas16 Great review. I loved this book so much 4mo
AmyG I, too, loved this book. The author took a ridiculous idea and wrote it so that it became real in my mind, totally believable. (edited) 4mo

My yard has turned into an absolute JUNGLE this summer. I've never seen the ivy come up onto the porch before...oops. 😅 I'll deal with it this weekend, but it's also kind of a vibe?

I started this book this morning and it's super weird. A man starts morphing into a shark within the first few pages. I'm intrigued enough to keep going, but definitely unlike anything I've read before.

Soubhiville I loved that book! And I like your porch, feels very private and shaded. 4mo
HeatherBookNerd Great book. So unique. 4mo
monalyisha Joining the ranks of the comment fandom! I loved this one, too. 4mo

JamieArc I liked it a lot too. There came a point where I just forgot how weird of a story it was and just went with it. 4mo
kspenmoll Mine too. I have an invasive vine traveling up to 2nd floor windows- 4mo
BarbaraBB I am reading it right now too and loving it so far 4mo
LittlebearReads I read this when it was brand new, and still think about it now—it‘s SO weird, but also extraordinarily beautiful (what it says about resiliency through change, especially). 4mo
