Marcellus will be my favorite book character forever 💓 Tova and Ethan are chef's kiss 

Such a feel good book about life and trauma and human (or not so human) connections.

4.5/5

This book is all heart - I am so pleased I picked this one up too see what all the fuss was about! Other than being on my radar, I went in blind and I am so glad I didn't read blurbs/reviews and the story revealed itself organically with the turn of each page. 

Remarkably Bright Creatures includes the most beautiful displays of 'found family' (and finding 'lost' family), of kindness, resilience and the courage to keep going. The story is so beautiful and is equally complimented by the writing which is exquisite. I honestly could not wait to pick this book up after work for the last couple of evenings, a heart touching story which will stay with me - and also has increased my appreciation for octopuses! Highly recommend and a fantastic debut by Shelby Van Pelt (couldn't believe it!) - will definitely pick up the next without hesitation!

The audio book is a must read (must listen?) for the octoupus's narrator alone!
