So charming, witty, and sweet. A tender story about family and closure after loss. Loved the octopus POV. Loved Marcellus. Hints of Mystery and Romance. Listen to the audiobook on YouTube while reading esp for Marcellus POV chapters.

This book had such lovable characters, well-thought out plot, and made me so fascinated about octopuses (I was extremely creeped out by them prior to this book) so one full star is dedicated for changing my perspective so drastically. All in all, a beautiful read!

OMG I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH I DIDNT WANT IT TO EVER END. Sadly my loan from the library ends in two days so I had to speed up🥲 This book was fun but also so beautiful and it touches your heart and also breaks your heart. It does all the things. It is pretty easy to get into and I’m so glad I picked it up. I vaguely remember seeing it a long while ago and saw “octopus” as a narrator and was like nope that’s too fantasy meets reality for me. But then the amazingly wonderful Abby Bergkamp told me to read it so I said why not and I’m so so sooooooo glad I did!! Ten-out-of-ten-would-recommend.
