Cuttle by Chelsea Britain

5.0

What a wonderfully unusual book. Nora knows all about cuttlefish, but people? Not so much. When she finds herself in a transitional time in her life, a challenge for a creature who lives and loves routines, will she rise to the occasion?

Will her friends rise to the occasion too? Because she’s not the only one in a time of transition.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be sensitive to sound, or what your friends or family members experience when they’re over-stimulated, please read “Cuttle.”

This debut novel is unique and compelling. The friendship dynamics were especially interesting and I loved the full-circle moment with one of Nora’s friends toward the end of the book.

These kinds of books make my soul sing. The kind of books that show how nature and people are connected, and then how people and other people are connected too.

It’s a brilliant novel. Thank you, Netgalley, for the opportunity to read “Cuttle.”
