This book is the reason I love Pagebound. Only this community could convince me to read a magical realism lit fic about a man diagnosed with turning into a great white shark.

It was hard for me to get into at first, but after trying it again with the ebook, I was fully on board. I'm a certified short chapter hater but this book is an exception to it. In a few words, Habeck conveyed everything I needed to know about the characters and their dynamics. Wren is a character I saw myself a lot in and her story is not one I will forget so easily.

Why is this not a 5 stars? I don't know to be honest. Maybe my expectations were too high or I didn't feel that connected to Lewis? But I'm satisfied with the experience i had.

Seven Days in June is one of my favorite books of all time, so when I heard of Tia Williams was going to release a new book, my expectations were high...

... and that was the problem. This book started off so strong! As a mystery lover, I loved watching Sasha and Wes trying to find Seat F. Tia Williams' prose, as always, is the highlight: it's witty and romantic and so bingeable, I have to dedicate a whole day to read her books! Sasha was very relatable with her anxiety and I loved the slow burn!

But things fell apart after the halfway point. I'm someone who is fine with the miscommunication trope because people in real life don't really communicate eloquently, but in this book it became so repetitive that it bothered me. The ending was very rushed and after I finished, I didn't feel like Wes had a resolution to his arc.

Aside from the ending, this was a really good summer read!
