Yes. Yes. Yes!! This book is perfect, definitely an unexpected favorite. I loved the shortness of the chapters and how well-rounded and alive all the characters feel. Shelby Van Pelt masterfully executed a heartwarming story. Having Marcellus, the intelligent and observant octopus, tie the story together was just the cherry on top. His unique perspective adds depth and humor, making the narrative even more engaging. The book offers amazing growth and perspective on people dealing with loneliness and wanting more. It beautifully explores themes of connection, forgiveness, and the search for belonging. It's definitely one of my favorite books this year. I cannot recommend this book enough!
