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

Loved the ending! I’m all for a found family. The twist on what the actual titles about was nice! Marcellus, you just could see everything while all the humans got lost in the forest with all the trees. Happy Cam got himself together and found a family he always wanted and needed and Tova got the ending she deserved! Will definitely recommend to others who want a feel good story.

This is a “get out of a reading slump” book. Within only a few pages I was invested in the characters, and after finishing the book I felt like I’d made new friends and had to say goodbye. While I have read books before that made me feel this way, it’s the first time that an octopus was included among my new fictional friends and Marcellus was a wonderful addition.
