How lovely this book was! I would liken it to A Man Called Ove without the ominous, dark undertones. Almost immediately, the reader is offered three different mysteries: what is the truth behind Tova’s son’s sudden death, who is Cameron’s father, and how on Earth does this octopus keep escaping his tank? This is a story about endless love, hope, and an octopus who brings two unsuspecting individuals together. ❤️🐙 Read this if you are looking for a feel good story with a happy ending. 

“But I do not like the hole in her heart. She only has one, not three, like me. Tova’s heart. I will do everything I can to help her fill it.”
