I really enjoyed this book! The chapters follow several different characters throughout the book but ultimately revolve around Tova, Cameron, and Marcellus the Giant Pacific octopus. I loved that the characters were not normal protagonists: Tova is a 70-year-old widow; Cameron is a 30-year-old habitual failure; Marcellus is a freaking octopus! Yet somehow, all of the characters are relatable.
I found the pacing to be a little slow in the beginning, but overall, it was really well done. The characters are lovable and each have their own quirks. They feel like real people.
This book was a birthday gift, and I would definitely read this book again!
