Cuttle by Chelsea Britain

5.0

Cuttle is the first book by Chelsea Britain and the minute I started reading this book I was immediately hooked in, smiling, and enjoying every second of this story. Introduced to Nora Novak as she spends time with her family and informs her dad that she and her boyfriend, Cam are over. The story follows beautifully from there and I couldn't put this book down.
This book is so well written and I have to say that I love all the fish and mollusk reverences sprinkled throughout. I'll be the first to admit that that is what probably really pulled me into the story because of how well they are used! They fit so beautifully and...I actually learn a few things with this book as well! LOL! I laughed more than once at some of the references used when describing individuals and some of the situations. Nora is interesting character and I must say I actually like how she's so awkward with people and is more comfortable with the fish and mollusks that she has been studying for so long. It's interesting to watch her develop as she moves past the years that she spent in a relationship with Cam and grows into becoming more comfortable a step at a time with other people and romance.
I like her relationship with her friends and family as well. The descriptions used in concern to her mother in the beginning...I laughed. Her mother is one of those types who wants her child to find a good man, get married, etc. Add in that her mother has "discovered" social media and "FOMO" I just laughed. I love her friends though and how they are there for her in such unique ways.
If you like a well balanced and fun romance novel with quite a few fish references then this book is a must read. You won't be able to put it down, because it is so enjoyable. I look forward to reading more by this author in the future. I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. So well written and fun to read.
