One star plus one for having an octopus. The audio version gets another plus one for Marcellus sounding like a gay Frasier.

4.5 ⭐️

Ik vond dit boek echt een pareltje. Het raakte me op een zachte, bijna ongemerkte manier, terwijl ik tussendoor ook vaak moest glimlachen. Vooral de stukken vanuit Marcellus’ perspectief waren uniek en gaven het verhaal iets speels en ontroerends tegelijk.

Wat ik mooi vond, is dat de personages voelen alsof je ze echt leert kennen. Het enige puntje is dat sommige plottwists wat voorspelbaar waren, maar eerlijk gezegd maakte dat me weinig uit, ik wilde mezelf gewoon mee laten nemen in het verhaal. Het was een warme deken, troostend, hoopvol en een beetje eigenzinnig. Een aanrader

A wonderful adventure! A little predictable but I loved each character and the pacing was very well done! Sometimes with stories like this one the author can drag out the characters meeting but I don’t feel that in this book!

A heartwarming tale about a lonely elderly woman searching for companionship and an octopus that can understand her. Call the cutie police. 

Has some dark themes within a tangled back story but there is hope and love and octopuses! Marcel! My baby! Tova! My baby! (Cameron! Grow up!). This makes me want to befriend more elderly and all the octopuses, if they would have me 🤿
