This was such a great book!! The narration from the old lady’s perspective, the young man’s, and the Pacific octopus’s made for such a great story. The unraveling mystery and budding relationship from multiple points of view painted a much fuller picture than anything from just one single narrator. It reminded me a lot of The Collected Regrets of Clover and The Berry Pickers, which were both 5 star reads from my past 6 months. Loved it!!!
