This book was an absolute delight, brimming with heartwarming moments that left me with a mixture of emotions, longing for a Marcellus of my own!

Tova, the sweetest, easily won my heart with her lovable and endearing presence.
As for Cameron, I found myself returning to the beginning of the story just to confirm his age. His actions often seemed more fitting for an 18-year-old boy rather than a 30-year-old man., & I definitely wasn't fond of how consistently miserable he appeared.

Although the "found family" trope isn't usually my favorite, I thoroughly enjoyed it in Remarkably Bright Creatures! The writing was excellent, especially in capturing the essence of Marcellus. Heart eyes all the way!
