Marcellus has been captive for the majority of his short life (about 4 years is the lifespan of his species). He misses the ocean, the dark, good food (though he goes in search of some here, when he really feels his menu needs changing up). Then Tova begins talking to him, and brings up a memory he has from long ago. But how can he communicate with her?
Cameron never knew his dad, and his mom left when he was nine. His life sucks. He was dealt a shit hand, and everything is someone else's fault. But when he gets the chance to go looking for family he might reconnect with, he jumps on it without hesitation, and ends up on an adventure he never would have predicted. But it just might be the best thing that ever happened to him.

This story was charming and uplifting, while still tugging at the heart just a little bit. Cameron was a difficult character to tolerate at first, but I encourage you to stick with him — he gets better at the end.
I loved the three perspectives that we shifted through, with Marcellus being my favorite. I found the authors writing style to be well done, and found myself laughing while tears were still in my eyes.
I loved every moment of this warm and charming book, and will definitely read it again in the future.
Remarkably Bright Creatures goes beyond the Tova-Marcellus relationship and at its core is about loneliness, loss, hope, friendship, family and community. It was such an original and heartwarming concept I won’t forget for a long time.
