    Such an intriguing book. The only thing Jay knows when he wakes up in the hospitalwith a scar running the length of his body is that he was attacked by a shark. But he has no memory of the actaul attack and his dad is acting very strange. Slowly, Jay a few snipets from that day come back, and something doesn’t add up. Who is lying and what really happened that day?
    I had so many different theories about the attack while reading, but didn’t see that one coming. So worth a read! Also one of the few books about surfing out there, so get reading!
