I absolutely adored this book. It is written well, I didn't want to stop reading it, the characters are well developed, and who doesn't love a happy ending? It was a little predictable, especially after about mid-way through the story, but I did not mind at all. I enjoy reading thinking, "will what I thought be true?". It doesn't make the story less wonderful. This is 100% a comfort read, and I think the insights are profoundly deep.

Loved this!! I especially loved Marcellus’s point of view and wished we had more of it. Aside from that I loved the slow unearthing of the main characters’ pasts and seeing how their lives intertwined.

This was a cute and sweet read and is definitely up there in terms of literature focused on octopuses (of which there is a surprising amount). I liked the plot well enough but things were laid out so perfectly that I kept getting frustrated that the characters couldn't figure things out. I wish we'd spent more time with Marcellus, because he was by far the best character.
