This is the first book by Steven Rowley that I’ve read and I look forward to reading everything he’s ever written. And Michael Urie’s narration was perfect.
Lily and the Octopus filled me with so much love and also such a deep sadness; just like I knew it would. The way I immediately knew at the beginning, the way I sobbed uncontrollably and then cried with happiness at the end! I was glad I finished this book while I was home alone so I could freely feel and release all these emotions.
Dog lovers be warned. This will rip your heart out. But it will also heal you. Steven doesn’t leave you a blubbering mess.
