never knew I needed an Octopus POV until now.
HOLY cow did I love this book. I was nervous to start it because over-hyped books can go either way & I really wanted to love this one. Once I started it I was KICKING myself for not trusting the book world. This book was so beautiful. The depth of each character’s complex was incredibly well done. I was skeptical about an Octopuses POV but it was so original and delightful to be in his world for a moment. The twist at the end that brought everything together was so well-thought out & emotional. I did not want this book to come to end moreover Marcellus’ to come to an end. It definitely tugged at my heart strings in more than one way. I would recommend this book over and over again for those who love a little big of adventure in their books that still encapsulates a story of friendship in unlikely places, community, grief, family & how to move on in life.
