A review by moonytoast
Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt

Did not finish book. Stopped at 22%.

This is reminding me a bit too much of my experience reading A Little Friend by Donna Tartt, but without the well-built intrigue—too many characters, too slow in introducing the crux of the plot, and a lack of care I felt as a reader for some of these points of view. If this was only restricted to the POVs of Tova and Marcellus, the Pacific octopus, I think it would be a much tighter story and feel less busy and unfocused. 

I could theoretically push myself through the rest of this book until an actual plot develops, but I’m trying to be better about giving myself the space to DNF books.
