Monty and Max were California brothers who loved to surf. It was their thing, always together, until that day Monty felt something different in the waterโthe day Max was attacked by a shark.
Montyโs grief, guilt, and fears are all expressed very well. He ran away from California to Nebraska, a landlocked state. He never told his family, wife, or old friends the details of those moments in the water with the shark and Max.
But the sharks and the guilt continue to circle in his head.
Monty returns to California for his sisterโs wedding; memories confront him like waves crashing on the sand.
As much as I literally shivered whenever Monty flashed back to him and Max in the water that day, I found it a bit hard to like Monty. My heart went out to him, but he was not looking at the people surrounding him, loving him but hurting as well.
A visceral and fascinating dive into grief, survivorโs guilt, and the power of nature.
