This is an enjoyable memoir with great ocean and shark info, and would be an excellent choice for a teen reader too. I loved that the author read the audiobook, and she did a great job. The focus moved between her life and shark/ocean facts with a nice balance and pace. That said, I always want more shark facts, so I wouldn't have minded a few more details about the creatures she worked with. But that's just a personal preference. Overall, this is a great choice if you're looking for a read about sharks, academia and Blackness, or following your passion to shape the right workflow for yourself.
