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!
