hopeful

This is one of those books that just makes you want to smile at the end.

I found it interesting that Marcellus’s POV is told in the first person and speaking directly to the reader. I feel that this grows the depth of connection to his character despite his chapters usually being quite a bit shorter that the other main characters. And I think his character will be the one that sticks with me and will remind me anytime I see an Octopus.

Quote: “Tova has always felt more than a bit of empathy for the sharks, with their never-ending laps around the tank. She understands what it means to never be able to stop moving, lest you find yourself unable to breathe.”

⭐️ 4.5/5
