Why read it?

1 author picked The Shallows as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I loved this book for its pacy story, fantastic characters, and gripping plot. The story is intense, and Holly Craig is a fantastic writer. Every single page is gripping and drives the story forward.
