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.
