This book is really exceptional and I don’t think I’ve ever read a book quite like Remarkably Bright Creatures. A mix of coziness and magical realism, this book will grab your heart with Van Pelt’s prose and unique characters. The multi-POV was a bit confusing at first (I didn’t see the whole point for certain characters’ POV), but it ultimately makes sense in the end. Definitely would recommend reading if you’re looking for a heartwarming, found family contemporary featuring a blunt octopus and beautiful prose.
