"Shark Girl" consists of two hundred, seventy-six pages divided into three parts which are comprised of multiple poems. Part One contains forty-six poems, Part Two is comprised of sixty-six poems, and Part Three includes fifty-four poems. Each poem averages one to two pages in length, though some are shorter and some are considerably longer. Each poem is titled according to the contents of what it discusses. The poems are all fairly short, but some are vague while others are more detailed. Each poem encompasses a short amount of time, and the entire novel takes place in slightly less than one year.
