Remarkably Bright Creatures is cozy and heart-warming, perfect for a winter evening under your favorite blanket, or if you’re looking for your next audiobook to keep you company throughout the day, look no further! It’s safe to say that these characters absolutely charmed me.
I want Tova Sullivan to be my grandmother. She is sweet and stubborn and just so delightfully herself.
I would *exclusively* shop at Ethan Mack’s grocery market, just to interact with him (his character is an underrated favorite!).
Cameron Cassmore is the perfect ‘rough-around-the-edges/tough guy’ character that is processing his childhood trauma and grows so much through the story arc.
I can’t leave out mischievous Marcellus the Giant Pacific Octopus, who is the star of the story! His voice actor so perfectly represented every snarky thought and bored comment that Van Pelt wrote for him.
All in all, this was a really good listening experience!
