Such a cute little story! I cried, so automatic 5 stars. 

It got quite a bit slow towards the middle, but the ending with Marcellus was so touching! I cried, it was very sweet and I have a newfound love of octopi (cue me looking up fun octopus facts? We'll see :D). There were quite a few laugh-out-loud moments for me also, and we all know that I'm such a sucker for grumpy old widow/er meets found family and becomes optimistic that life can and will be good again... throw in a marine animal and sorry babes but I'm sold!! 

Also, I just finished Ugly Betty & I was like... Marc St James, is that you?? Michael Urie was so perfect for Marcellus :)

This book was so good. I enjoyed Marcellus. The way grief was talked about was tender and real.
