While this book was quite predictable for me, I did enjoy the way the PNW was portrayed with such coziness and beauty. I felt connected to the book mostly because of the setting and because I love aquariums.

I don’t love 30 year old men who don’t really know how to take care of themselves or act like an adult. Other than that, I was a satisfied reader.

Dear Remarkably Bright Creatures,

So many feelings. I tend to read books heart forward and I worried this would break it. Tova, Cameron, Ethan, and especially Marcellus have filled my heart and will stay there.

Purchased a copy of this book at about chapter 6.

Not sure that much I can share will do this book any justice but I hope you read it.

This is a lovely book that is melancholy but also inspiring. I found the ending to be fairly predictable, but that didn’t deter my enjoyment of it. There are some really beautiful scenes and wonderful characters.
